We had discussed this some months ago, I also don't quite understand why
filtering is only working on displayed elements.
For me it would be more logical to just search on every possible field.
For example text quick search: If you do not display the image name, you are
not able to filter anything (or maybe on the folder name, I have not tested
it).

I do understand that if filtering works for rating but the stars are not
displayed, you can not be sure if everything is filtered correctly. But still
this is more user friendly then disabling it completely. You might never find
out by yourself why the filter is "broken".
If I wouldn't know what can cause this problem, I would never think of that
activating the displaying of the rating stars will also activate the
quickfilter.
If we want to disable it, I think it would be even better to hide the widget
completely.

But overall I would suggest to ignore these restrictions, at least for the
rating widget.

My suggestion for now:
- filter ratings, even if the stars are not displayed
- text filter works on every possible field (file name, folder name, tags etc)
