 ## tip
 
+* BUGFIX: properly locate logs for the [requested streams](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/LogsQL.html#stream-filter). Previously logs for some streams may be missing in query results. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4856). Thanks to @XLONG96 for [the fix](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5295)!
 * BUGFIX: [web UI](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/querying/#web-ui): properly sort found logs by time. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5300).
