filters working correctly?

If on the galmap I buy the exploration and trade data for a system, and it contains a materials broker, shouldn't I be able to see that system highlighted when I filter by broker services on the galmap after I've purchased the data? Do I REALLY have to go and dock with a station in that system?

Possibly, although scanning the Nav Beacon is quicker.

The filter does appear to be bugged though, as half the time all the ones I've discovered do not show. Try mode switching after purchase and see if it then appears, if not, scan the Nav Beacon and then see if it appears, trying a mode switch if not.

I just don't get some of these decisions ... why would they hide this stuff? It's bad enough that the material traders aren't at the engineering bases but now we have to discover them all? It just seems unnecessarily grindy, even kind of cruel to the player. It just feels like every activity has some kind of painful time sink against it, but particularly anything to do with engineers and materials.
