SUMMARY

I've been bitten by this problem several times now, albeit rarely enough that I
keep forgetting that it's an issue.  I usually don't want recurring events to
clutter my agenda and month view, so I have set up a "non-recur" filter for
that, intended only as a filter for the calendar views.  But it also excludes
those elements from search, which is not intuitively obvious – I don't think
it's mentioned anywhere in the UI, and the term "view filter" does not hint
that it also works as a search filter.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up a filter using "Settings / Manage view filter" that would match at
least one event.
2. Activate the filter and verify that the event disappears from the calendar
view.
3. Search for the item, taking care to specify a date range that includes the
hidden event.

OBSERVED RESULT
The hidden event is not shown in the search result.

EXPECTED RESULT
Expected the event to show up before I realized (multiple times) that the view
filter was also a search filter.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version:  5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm not sure having the view filter act as a search filter is good as a
default.  The search dialog already has some option tick boxes, and my
preferred change would be to add one for "Include events matched by view
filter" and make it the default.  If the current default is kept, or this
suggestion is not implemented at all, consider changing the term from "view
filter" to "view/search filter" or just "filter".
