Summary

The Snapshots list view (tmpl/snapshots/default.php) has no search/filter toolbar, unlike the Backups and Profiles views which both use Joomla\CMS\Layout\LayoutHelper::render('joomla.searchtools.default') with corresponding filter XML forms.

Additionally, Snapshots/HtmlView.php does not set $this->filterForm or $this->activeFilters, which means even if a filter form existed, the search tools wouldn't render.

What exists vs. what's missing

View	Filter XML	Search tools	filterForm property
Backups	`filter_backups.xml`	Yes	Yes
Profiles	`filter_profiles.xml`	Yes	Yes
Snapshots	Missing	No	No

What to do

Create forms/filter_snapshots.xml with search field and status filter (complete/fail)
Update Snapshots/HtmlView.php to set $this->filterForm and $this->activeFilters
Add LayoutHelper::render('joomla.searchtools.default') to tmpl/snapshots/default.php
Add status filter to SnapshotsModel::getListQuery() (currently only has search filter)

Why

Users with many snapshots have no way to search or filter the list. This is inconsistent with the other two list views.

Confirmed still valid @ 02.56.05 — keep open (canonical snapshots filter/search issue; #190 closed as duplicate).

forms/ has filter_backups.xml and filter_profiles.xml but no filter_snapshots.xml, and tmpl/snapshots/default.php has no LayoutHelper::render('joomla.searchtools.default'). No filter/search UI on the snapshots list.
