Pretty much. It's not actually opening your retainers, glamour dresser, etc when you do an isearch. It's reading a list of what was there last time you looked, which in the case of your own personal inventory won't have changed. That's not true of the FC chest. They could probably add the FC chest to isearch fairly easily if they wanted to, but since it's public access there's no guarantee your search will be accurate, or even if you have permission to access the items there in the first place.
