New workspace picker returns more results than expected
What is the challenge?
The new workspace picker search returns non-matching items and expands parts of the hierarchy that do not include the search term.
For example, searching for “Product” shows the “Platforms” and “Offerings (Solutions)” sections even though those items do not include the word “Product”
I assume they are only shown because they are children/siblings of a matching parent (“Core products”)
This makes results look broader than intended and feels inconsistent with a typical filter
What is the impact?
Harder and slower to locate the correct workspace in large hierarchies
Higher risk of choosing the wrong workspace when many unrelated items are visible
Reported as confusing and returning more results than expected
Describe your idea
Change the picker so that search behaves like a true filter:
Only display workspaces and lines whose names match the query
Show the minimal ancestor path to each match (collapsed/breadcrumb), but do not display unrelated siblings

We have just shipped an update to search that should greatly improve this UX.
