You are correct.

But we do know that they've been filtering. We just don't know what exactly.

Since Amazon does not clearly inform its customers, that their searches are being filtered and the results are not as accurate as the customers would reasonably expect them to be, then Amazon is engaging in deceptive practices.

It is up to Amazon, to state their guidelines for filtering, so that their customers can make informed decisions, based on their searches. Until Amazon does, speculation will persist.
