Right. I used the DOS version and was very happy with it. As computing
evolved into Windows InfoSelect began to fail on character sets.
So I bought & used the Windows version but didn't like it so much. It
lacked that instant filter experience.
The company stopped supporting legacy DOS version and even removed the
download.
Effectively the DOS software ceased to exist.

Right. Here is a kind of scenario ... TWO search/filter boxes ...
First - OPENs all with tag "Tweet" (opening say 80 very short tiddlers; a
couple of sentences each)
Reduce via ...
Second - "CLOSEs" all those with literal string in the text field
"#BottledWater" (maybe via CSS?)

I don't think that is too much of an issue per se. It is more the idea you
open all found and REDUCTIVE close all you don't need in batches on a
press.
I think that would give a good enough replay of that InfoSelect behavior.

Right. I thought Mat's idea a good one to play with. Regex is ideal for me!

Thanks for your useful comments!
