ITypeSearch Filter not returning results when checking using IContentRepository to see if the Block is used.
I don't think you'll be able to use _contentRepository.GetReferencesToContent as part of a search request filter.
Filters that are going to be executed by S&N need to be able to be converted in to search queries for elastic and there's no indexed data for usages of a block in S&N.
The easiest thing to do is to return all your blocks fist then using the _contentRepository.GetReferencesToContent() on the result block values so that it's executed agains the content repo but be aware that's a direct database call and can be expensive so it depends where you're using this.
