David, If you put the following into the advanced search / filter box in 5.1.20 prerelease:
"one/two/one/three" +[split[/]] You get: one two one three Is this what you are after? Of course it won't work in earlier releases and it works like this even without Jeremy's recent trials of allowing duplicates in all filter operations.
