Is the explorer glitchy or am I just doing something wrong?

So I'm looking for a position on the explorer because I want to study a certain opening, right? Master Games won't show casual games so I go into other players and look for say, Hikaru games.

So 4 games, awesome. I go and click on "view all games from current position" and get this:

So I'm just a lowly 1100 rating who plays the Vienna but even I know 63,257 and 4 is not the same number. And then it's impossible for me to find the games I want to add to a collection for reviewing later. Or say I search for GothamChess and he has about 60 games in that position and I'd love to add them all to a collection and not have to look at them one by one and I run into the same problem.

Sometimes it even happens with my own games, I want to find games I lost with a certain openings and the explorer will just show I drew every single game

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug that I need to report?

Yes, that kind of searching for a position doesn't work.

However, you can search Hikaru's games for the Vienna Game opening. One of the search fields is for openings and I think that the Vienna is one of them. You can also search for games that he played as white or black.

Thanks for the reply! Sucks, that's really inconvenient when trying to look at specific variations. But no pain no gain I guess.
