Change the process to do 'Reset to Default' in Order Hub to view the newly added OOB search filter in the UI.

There is a need to do 'Reset to Default' in Order Hub post every deployment when a OOB search filter is added on search screen. Else it is not visible. Idea is to remove the need to do that. Typically from user perspective they find it very hard t...
