Short description of error
The Asset Browser Search is not working

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I can mark objects as Asset and they appear in the Asset Browser. However when I use the Asset Browser Search Bar nothing is found, all Assets just disappear out of the view. Works neither with names nor with tags.
Testing with Default Cubes:

Use the outliner to mark a bunch of duplicated cubes as Assets one by one. Naming is Cube.001, Cube.002 etc.
They appear in the Asset Browser window.
Type "C" in the search bar - all cubes still visible, even one that I've named "Heiko".
Type the next letter "u" - all cubes dissapear from the Asset Browser view.

I am not sure if it is a bug, or not implemented. But if not implemented - it should either do nothing, show a warning, or the UI element shouldn't even be there or be greyed out. Since the Asset Browser is the only new Feature in 3.0 for now I am quite confused why it is not working and I guess others will be too...

Thanks for looking at this, <3 Blender!

This is one of the many remaining tasks for the Asset Browser to be production/release ready. But this one I find particularly important, searching is crucial for asset browsing.

Can confirm, search doesn't work with Collections. Mesh data yes. Material nodes can be limited.

The search is still just operating on the filename that contains the assets. This would also explain when we didn't run into this problem while using our Spring-based mockup project; there the hand-poses for Spring are stored in poses_spring_hand.blend, and thus searching for "hand" or "spring" would produce the expected results.

I have a patch ready to fix this ;-)
