Comma no longer acts as an “OR” operator in Effects & Presets search (AE 25.2.2, macOS)

While checking the Boolean-search behaviour described in the official manual I ran into what looks like either a regression or an outdated piece of documentation. Here is what I’m seeing:

1 · Steps to reproduce

1. Open the Effects & Presets panel.

2. Type Change → the panel correctly returns the two effects Change Color and Change to Color.

3. Without clearing the field, change the query to Change,Color (comma-separated).

   • Same result if you add a space after the comma: Change, Color.

2 · Expected result (per manual)

According to “Search and find items” in the AE help, a comma should be treated as an OR operator in all three panels (Project, Timeline, Effects & Presets). Therefore I expect to see any effect whose name contains Change or Color.

3 · Actual result

The list goes completely empty — as if the panel is looking for the literal substring change, (including the comma) rather than splitting the query into two tokens and applying OR logic.
In contrast, the same query works in the Project panel: Layer, Solid correctly returns both “Layer” and “Solid” items.

4 · Environment

5 · Work-arounds tried

• Clearing prefs → no change

• Different casing (change,Color / CHANGE,color) → no change

• Removing the comma instantly brings results back (so it’s 100 % tied to the character itself).

6 · Questions

• Can anyone confirm the same behaviour on their system?

• @793389: is the manual simply outdated, or was the OR search intentionally removed from Effects & Presets in recent releases?

• If it was removed, could the documentation be updated (and ideally the feature re-added — it was handy!)?
