by a previously defined search filter that is now being overwritten by a newly
applied filter. For example, assume you apply a result filter on the log view to
display all records of type Activity. The filter is moved to a Search filter in order to
save it. You have now applied a new result filter to obtain data having Source
Description as Users and have moved this to a search filter. So, the existing search
filter is now replaced with the following new filter ('Record Type' = "Activity" AND
'Source Description' = "USERS') However, you want to retrieve the previously
saved search filter ('Record Type' = "Activity").

view refreshes to display all records with Record Type as Activity.
