Just to add to this. I’ve also noticed there are items in the FAB that I can locate on the website, yet unable to find them in my library despite owning it. Here’s a perfect example.
The item I’m looking for via FAB website…
Looking for the same item inside my library on FAB website…
Basically doesn’t show up at all even when narrowed down to Environment category.
Same using the FAB plugin inside UE5.5
Finally… If I use the Epic launcher to look for it, then lo and behold! It appears!
This is a huge issue because I’ve spent thousands of dollars on assets and now I unwittingly lost access to the bulk depending on how I search for them. I have zero confidence in locating anything anymore unless I try to search the fab website, the fab plugin, and the epic launcher.
Only after those 3 things have been searched can I even consider ‘oh, I must not have something purchased for this’.
Also, for the search terms, “stylized eastern village” works was tried for all search bars and so were variants. I’ve also attempted to search… by hand… through everything in my library one by one without filters. Still no dice… This really needs to be fixed.
Sadly, I’m new and can only post one image, however I assume this is reproducible and others can try as it’s a free asset currently.
