The 'Browse All…' list highlights what I believe to be a 'feature' of how Full Text Search makes use of the Metadata associated with a transcribed image and can lead to confusion [at least to me] when looking at the Collection Filters.

I saw that the list included Ukraine Odesa Biographies….

https://www.familysearch.org/search/full-text/collection/M9J1-W8G

Here's a Full Text Search result which is 'tagged' with that collection

https://www.familysearch.org/search/full-text/results?count=100&q.text=%2B%22robert%20a%20justis%22%20%2B%22lavinia%20a%20justis%22%20%2Brubencame%20%2Barmstrong&c.collectionId=on&f.collectionId=M9J1-W8G

The Image Group Data for that image, identifies it as belonging to Image Group Number 007653205 (Item 1 of 71). Here's what the Image Catalog has on that particular Collection….

And this Image Group is also reflected on the identified 'Creator'

https://www.familysearch.org/records/images/beta/search-results?creator=Deutsches%20Ausland-Institut%20%28Stuttgart%29&pageSize=100

And here's a look at the 'Author'

But if you look at the details, this [and several others] are found in New Castle County Delaware Register of Wills. Justis, Lavinia A. - Kanely, Eliza, Film No 2188291

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/968540

So essentially this particular image is 'double booked' under two different Catalog entries. Good news is that the image is also tagged with a Delaware Collection which is a filter most of us would apply/use

Kinda make sense, but still… Hope that helps some folks out there
