Search is not working correctly in eventviewer list with relationship view enabled

There are often scenarios where main events are linked to child events. These relationships can be effectively visualized using the Relationship View in the EventViewer.

However, the search functionality does not work correctly when using this Relationship view. It appears that the search only considers main events, ignoring any child events. As a result, the combination of Relationship View and search is currently not usable for customers, which discourages them from using the otherwise valuable relationship feature.

We kindly request that the search behavior be improved so that it works consistently and intuitively with the Relationship View, enabling users to fully benefit from this functionality.

We're talking about the EventViewer as a component of DASH/WebGUI and about the Relationship View, not the grouping functionality. The attached screenshots should help understanding this problem.

We already had two RFE open, but they were only solved within the AlertsView of NOI hybrid Openshift part and CP4AIOps, what was not requested:
