The direct answer

A filter can appear functional while its topic labels do not match the content records. An empty result should be a understandable state, not a silent failure.

What to check

Select each topic, combine it with search, and clear the filters. Verify both the result count and the actual visible cards.

What to do next

Use consistent category values and offer a visible reset. Preserve access to articles without JavaScript so a script error does not make the collection disappear.

Platform guidance can change. Consult the current official documentation before making platform-specific changes.
