Smart collections not showing annotations

When creating a smart collection to gather items that do not have a specific tag, the annotations made to the PDF do not appear in the middle pane. They do appear in the right pane.

For example, this item in My Library:

The same item in the saved search:

Zotero beta 9.0-beta3
Windows 11

I don't know if this also happens in version 8, I just noticed it with beta 9. The same happens in Troubleshooting mode.

Also, is there a way to know when an annotation was made?

    It is due to this update:
    Zotero 8.0.3 is out now with "Hide Non-Matching Annotations" as the default.

    As discussed here:

    You can keep the non-matching annotations visible by switching back to the previous behaviour with View → Hide Non-Matching Annotations.

    You can see when the annotation was last modified by hovering the mouse pointer over the upper portion of the annotation in the annotations sidebar.
    Annotations also have a "Date Added" property, but I don't think that it is accessible anywhere in the UI.

    Yes, thank you so much!

    Very well, I didn't know.
