The View Manager PI does set it's configured Search Restriction to the VL 'Additional restriction', but not perfectly.
It doesn't remove the 'Additional restriction' when switching to another view, nor does it set it again if you've cleared the 'Additional restriction' with the 'Close the Virtual Library' button.

The 'Close the Virtual Library' button part is arguably a bug in Calibre's VL/search restriction code.

FYI, I submitted (and Kovid accepted) a change a few days ago to Calibre to clear the VL 'Additional restriction' when the 'Close the Virtual Library' button is pressed.
So at this point, while it's not what I would call ideal, the View Manager Search Restriction feature doesn't appear outright broken anymore.
