Did you try to 'reset filter' before issuing a search ? When the bug is met, it would be also interesting to simply close/open the base, and not close / start Scid, just to see what happens. Also do you get this bug after having updated some games in a base, or simply opening the base and performing the search ? > I shut down scid, fired it up again, reopend the DB, searched for > Nimzowitsch vs. Rubinstein, et voila!
