Search in Kibana Watcher and Agent Fleet policies not working as it should

We are currently running Elasticsearch and Kibana at version 8.18.1
There are for the moment two annoying issue we discovered when searching in watcher or Agent Fleet Policies

  1. Watcher
    The search box states "Search by name or ID", but only search by name works and it's case sensitive. Also there is a builtin refresh that loses the focus of the search box when typing.
    Ways to reproduce:
    when you have a watch with ID "my-watch" and name "My-WATCH" you can only find it by typing WATCH in the search box.
    Also if you start typing and hesitate for a second, the list is refreshed and you have to click in the search box again to continue typing.
    Pretty annoying if you ask me.

  2. Agent Fleet Policy
    Somewhat similar as the behavior above, when an agent fleet policy has only a name and no description you cannot search for it.
    Ways to reproduce:
    Create 2 policies:

  • name: "my-policy-1" with no description
  • name: "my-policy-2" with description "my-policy-2"
    Filter for "policy" and you only see my-policy-2

Is this behavior still the case in later versions?

Hello @PeterDK

I tried in 8.18.3 version and below are the observations related to Watcher

  1. I am able to search via name & it displays all the records (not case-sensitive)

  1. Tried to search with ID as well which is working :

Thanks!!
