It does this already.  I don't know why you don't see it in your
document.

You can *interactively* resize the listbox using the +, -, and =
command links at the upper right of the listbox.  +/- step the list
size by 1 one (increase or decrease).  = toggles between
'maximum' (show ALL lines), and current 'listsize' value.

The initial listsize is coded into the plugin:
   config.macros.importTiddlers.listsize = 10
You can change this by adding a suitable ImportTiddlersPluginConfig
(or zzConfig) tiddler, tagged with systemConfig, containing the line
above, adjusted for the desired number of lines.

> - the filter option seems only to work on full tiddler names.

The filter option uses the TW core paramifier syntax (URL 'hash'
params), and supports any combination of:
   open:TiddlerName (or just "TiddlerName")
   story:StoryName
   tag:tagvalue
   search:searchtext

TiddlerName is the full title of any tiddler in the remote document.
StoryName is a tiddler containing a space-separated list of titles.
tagvalue matches tiddler tags
searchtext matches tiddler body text (partial matching)

There are, of course, numerous other filtering options that could be
useful... however, this plugin is already quite large (though, IMO,
justifiably so), so I am hesitant to add lots of code to support
extended filters.  However, small incremental changes are possible.

Currently, the handling for "search:text" filters performs a simple
'partial text match' against the tiddler body text only.  If I rewrite
this code to invoke the TW core search handler instead, it will
automatically be able to use the core's support for searching with
javascript regular expression (text pattern) syntax.

In addition, if you have TiddlyTools' SearchOptionsPlugin installed,
you could also search for text matches within a tiddler's titles, tags
and/or custom fields.
