Describe the Bug

It looks like Search Query syntax doesn't work on Smart Lists.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. I've Smart List called "NOT ASSIGNED"
  2. When I use search syntax list:"NOT ASSIGNED" it doesn't seem to show any articles from this list
  3. When I search for other lists it works fine e.g. list:"Toys" etc.
  4. I'm on 0.25.0 Docker based version

Expected Behaviour

Search syntax for lists works on both standard and smart lists.

yeah, this indeed is a known bug. Tried to fix it in 0.24 but had to revert it because it can cause infinite recursion. Will attempt to fix it again differently.
