Something stopped working with searching Public images in EC2 all searches come up "No matching images found". Is everyone else experiencing this?
Edit: Adding additional information
The Free text search is what is no longer working, see screenshot below

Remove the filtering on centos and the search will return 1000+ items.
To filter on AMIs whose name contains the term centos, set the filter to AMI name : centos

Yes, it returns and says 1000+ items, but I cannot enter anything in the search field and get a filtered list.
For example, if I enter centos and press enter, it shows "No matching images found" when I know in fact there are many public images with centos in the name and/or description
Oh, so it no longer searches All properties?
Click in the search box and pick AMI name from the drop-down.
The menu will change to an Operators menu, select the second option Contains
Search box will populate with AMI name : followed by a cursor, type centos in here.
Are you thinking about when picking an AMI for a new EC2 instance, and you can search on general terms like centos, ubnuntu, rhel and so on? That will return a list of AMIs (across four headings - Quickstart; My AMIs; Marketplace; Community) that match the string.
That's different from the EC2 -> Images -> AMis view in the AWS Console.
Prior to today, If I just entered a search term in the search field and pressed enter it would return all entries that had ANY properties that matched.
From a UX perspective, what is the point in having a search field that you can enter your search in when it doesn't actually search.
I understand now I can specifically search by AMI name: and it works if I know the name, but sometimes I want to find items because what I search might be in the description, or I might just want to paste the AMI id and hit enter....
