The new Applications prefpane lets you filter its list, but the filter searches not only the two values you can see (type name, action name) but also two values you cannot see (MIME type, if any, and file extension, if any). We should only filter on visible information, otherwise we will confuse users who get inexplicable results in their filtered set.

Comment on attachment 280816 [details] [diff] [review] patch v1: filters only on displayed values Requesting approval to land this in M9. This is a simple, low-risk patch that eliminates an edge case where a user might filter the list of content types and see something on the list that doesn't match her filter.
