Comment:

 Re-opening this ticket, because I feel the implementation it introduces
 more/worse problems than it solves.

 The new behavior results in a filter already being applied in the default
 state. You have to undo that filtering before doing other filtering, if
 you don't want a union of the filters.

 I can't think of other popular software that behaves in this manner w/ a
 default filter applied.

 I would prefer to leave the awkward behavior of drafts not being
 displayed, and then later design what Any looks like then to create
 additional steps for people to filter.

 I notice this new behavior because I most often come to this page to
 search across all content including Private, Draft, Pending Review. I
 think this might be a fairly common utility of the page. It at least is an
 intuitive one.
