Thanks Mark. 

I still can't get it to work. Here's my entire filter expression. I know 
it's clearly incorrect but I can't find any other way to reconcile the 
different types of brackets with the title flag, the regex expression and 
the in-filter transclusion.

My search string to be matched is in the note field of the $:/note tiddler:

<$list filter="""[tag[note]regexp:title[\b{$:/note!!note}\b]]""">

</$list>

Thanks!
Hubert
