Yes, very cool and useful as well.

So then you would have to stop at some point though right. You would have
to stop at the number of filterConditions you have wouldn't you.
It wouldn't be possible to filter by the same condition twice would it?
For instance, when you redisplay the orginial filte r field again to allow
for an additional filter, would all of them re-display (including the one
you are already using to filter by)?
in other words, if you have two filterConditions (name like and city is)
and you are filtering by name like, then would both the name like and city
is filters be available as choices underneath? If you are filtering by
both --name like and city is-- would there be another original filter
field below. I think the answer should be no to both these questions,
but it would be useable and benifical anyway. Just a little more
confusing for the user though. Used filters should dissappear from the
next filter field I would think.
Can you do it?
