Text filter: Yes, we already said, that's cool and needed.
I think that although your suggestions are good they are a bit too
"complex" or at least they will clutter the UI and the simplicity.
As for what I define best: that's a criteria we would have to decide, can

or just wifis with the letter e in the name.

By the way, I do agree that a minute is too much.
