Nope, the search function has always failed to filter out stuff packs. I've been annoyed with it since I got it, and I've been Simming since before the vampires game pack came out.
Thanks for telling me about the ability to see the stuff pack items that were used, I didn't know that. It was a little hard to find even, because when you click on the stuff packs used in the gallery item it initially just shows all the items in the stuff packs. There is a little white button above it (very easy to miss) that can be clicked to "show items used" and THEN it shows which items were used. Of course I'm not going to be bothered to do that if a gallery item uses 5+ stuffpacks, because that's 5 times clicking the button and going through the items. A lot of extra unwanted hoo-haa, but it's convenient if it's only 1-3 packs or if I'm really impressed with an item.
