clicking ALL remove all filters, eg Country of researchers.

The filters are lost when I click on ALL.
I would have expected that my filters remain active.

Thanks for your feedback

I see what you mean. But I also think it would be confusing to show all filters that are available for some content type for ALL. E.g. allowing to filter everything by Peer-reviewed. It gives a false impression that it is even meaningful to search news stories by that.

The reasoning behind current behaviour
Filters that can be applied to ALL will be kept, but country of researcher doesn't make sense to all types of data and is hence removed. Similar if you search for journal publisher on literature. That filters isn't applicable to news stories.

So we had 2 choices: Show all filters at all time for all content types - OR only show the filters that make sense for that content type. We chose the latter. I think that is the correct decision, that will cause least confusion.

Remove all when there are filters applied that would be removed
That said, it makes sense that it is confusing. I would be more in favour of removing the ALL tab when there are any filters applied that would be removed.
