Unhappy Search results not displaying properly

I'm hoping someone here can help me solve (another) problem.

I have several saved searches, and when I run any of those saved searches - they work fine. The books that match the search criteria are displayed, but nothing else.

However... for some reason any NEW searches I create are not displaying correctly. When I create a search, the results do not appear in a window - excluding the books that dont match the search, but rather the books that match the search criteria are highlighed (in green) in the main window. I have to scroll through all my books to look for those highlighted green and those that are match the search I created.

I did not change the way the searches are written, but just to be sure (i'm not crazy) I tried modifying an existing saved search; one that displays correctly, and once modified (changing only the specific word to search for), that search also doesn't work correctly - the books are highlighted in the list of books and I have to scroll down the entire list to find the highlighted books. It wouldn't be a problem if I had only a few books, but as of now I have over 6000 and scrolling through them to find the ones that match the search is cumbersome.

I've made 2 changes to calibre.
1) I installed the latest update; 1.21, and;
2) I installed the "find duplicates" plugin. I cant imagine the plugin causing this issue as it is only activated by clicking on the 'find duplicates' icon on the menu bar and picking the matching criteria.
To be safe, I didabled the find duplicated plugin, but the searches still dont work correctly.

It's quite possible that I unknowingly changed something that caused this, but I cant seem to find the cause.

Help, please.

Thank you.
