Okay, I now realize that that is an ETLegacy Feature, and a good one! ๐
This is not a solution, but something that I noticed when I opened the ET 2.6b browsers and did the Online tab:
Requesting servers from the master... // looks like it 'does' 99 servers at a time, from the ET Master Browser list
CL_ServersResponsePacket
99 servers parsed (total 99)
CL_ServersResponsePacket
99 servers parsed (total 198)
CL_ServersResponsePacket
99 servers parsed (total 297)
CL_ServersResponsePacket
98 servers parsed (total 395)
PunkBuster Client: PnkBstrA successfully loaded PnkBstrB // yes, I still run PB, just to possibly help anyone with problems with it
PunkBuster Client: PnkBstrB service installed and started successfully // FA does not require PB anymore
282 servers listed in browser with 2848 players.
113 servers not listed (filtered out by game browser settings) // I had turned off all Filters, but the browser still 'filtered out' some of them?

@Bluey Why don't you try something like this so that we can see how many servers are searched for and if some 'strange thing' is filtering out some of them. Your SS images don't show any filters, but I wonder.
We can at least compare your search-results to mine. Start ET without joining any mods and /clear the console. The do the server-search, open the console and do a /condump filename. You will find the file in ETmain. You can then copy from the "requesting servers" line down to the /condump line and paste the results in a reply here.
Mine 'parsed' 395 servers, filtered out 113, and gave results for 282 servers.
It would be interesting to see your results for the " # servers listed, with # players" line and the " # servers not listed".
ADDED: You can try this in both ET 2.6b AND ETLegacy, so we can see any differences.
