Since the 16 update, I've noticed:
a) A standard search will not search the full name. For example an input of "skirt" will NOT return "Red Skirt", but often (not always, see next) return "Skirt, red".
b) Sometimes (i'd guess at 40% of the time), the full name will not return the item. For example, inputting "Red Skirt" will NOT return "Red Skirt"! However, I have discovered a work around, which requires some patience. I type in the first letter, wait for the search to complete, then narrow the search by typing in another letter, and so on, until the desired item is found. A related work around is to type in the full name, and if the search is unsuccessful, delete the last letter to the item, i.e. "Red Skir" will return "Red Skirt" when the full name will not.
c) In general, inventory search seems to be very slow, even when it works. I tested this on my skyplat, with no packet loss or lag observed.
d) "Recent Items" is inoperative. In other words, sometimes no items appear under the "Recent Items" tab at all. I was unable to figure out any work around aside from the obvious of using the regular inventory tab and searching there.
I'd love to hear if anyone else has some workarounds for this. In addition, if you've had trouble with this (either in regular inventory or the texture picker), please visit the Bug Report on JIRA MISC-240 and vote/add comments.

Thanks all! My SL inventory really does resemble my RL closet now
