That’s right, the filter has no memory as to the type of bracketing used to define an item in the list. But I still don’t quite understand how this relates to your problem. Are you attempting to treat the text of a tiddler as a filter string and then expecting to be able to process the individual words. The problem with that is likely to be the duplicate removal — just try typing “the cat sat on the mat” in the filter tab of advanced search.
