I just observed the strangest behavior with search filters in SS2.0, and I after fiddling around I can't reproduce it. I usually make my searches using filter expressions like so

search.create({
	type: search.Type.DEPOSIT_APPLICATION,
	filters: [
		['mainline', 'is', 'T'],
		'and',
		['appliedtotransaction', 'anyof', depositIds] // depositIds is array of strings, like ['1234', '5678']
	]
}).run().each(function(result) { // ...

However when I did this it ran it as if there was no appliedtotransaction filter. I ran it in the script debugger and the execution log showed a NetSuite generated log

Search filter removed

Filter expecting numeric value was removed as non-numeric value '[Ljava.lang.Object;@608e74ef' was provided

By all appearances, NetSuite edited my search before running it. I changed the filter to

['appliedtotransaction', 'anyof'].concat(depositIds)

and it worked as expected. Then I changed it back to the first filter and it doesn't reproduce. 🤔 😟 Anyone seen anything like this before?

I think I saw someone else mentioning NS silently changing the search behind the scenes. Absurd! but maybe they'll call it a feature - artificial intelligence helping your search

@jkabot in my case it was reproducible because i was providing the wrong data. i don't, unfortunately, recall the specific scenario otherwise i'd dig it up.
