cmd+A to select filtered layers/options

I'm getting acquainted with the "search" function on the timeline and discovered something that surprised me.
If I filter the layers through SEARCH and press cmd+A, then I select not those that are displayed after filtering, but all the layers. And if I delete, then all the layers are deleted, not those that were displayed. What's the point of this filter then?
I suggest fixing this and making the cmd+A combination select only those layers that are displayed using the filter. This way you can quickly delete unnecessary layers. I have to manually "circle the area" with the mouse, it's not convenient, well, if there are a lot of layers and in general you can make mistakes due to inaccuracy of movement, it's an unnecessary "headache". Maybe it's just a bug, I don't know. But at the moment it works like this.
The AE version is the latest.
