Hello @SaltyBet, you're comparing a Steam Library search to a Steam Store search. For the latter on Steam Deck, Steam button -> Store -> Search Steam in the top right -> Press Y to filter the search with the set you've screenshot.

@kisak-valve sorry, my bad, I was definitely not clear.

What I meant to ask for was, effectively, to have the Library search include the complete set of options as the website search, mainly to use those options as a way to define more accurate Dynamic Collections.

Is that a sensible request? Should I open a new issue?

I don't think it makes sense to have a broad spectrum request to force the Steam Library and the Steam Store to have the exact same structure. They're objectively separate for the purpose they serve.

If there's a specific search filter that you need, make that clear and we can repurpose this issue report to focus on that specific criteria.
