This version will return sub-groups for non-global searches. So in codacoder's example, this search:
<$list filter='[tag[TestGroups]get[text]regexps[(?g)bk-ann ".+"]regexps[bk-ann "(.+)"]]' > will change this: <<bk-ann "Explain the use of the Tiddlywiki's macro system">>X > > and > > <<bk-ann "Explain the scope rules of Tiddlywiki > macros">> > > Into Explain the use of the Tiddlywiki's macro system > Explain the scope rules of Tiddlywiki macros Notice that it takes 2 regexps filters to accomplish this (the first global one finds the items, the second trims them). For counts, you can just use the count[] filter after the regexps filter you want. Backup before trying. Good luck!
