I made a mistake, but this code works:
<$select field='primary'>
<option value='^185'>1850s</option>
<option value='^186'>1860s</option>
<option value='^187'>1870s</option>
<option value='^188'>1880s</option>
</$select>
''year:'' {{!!primary}}<br>
<$count filter="[tag[Company]regexp:charterfiled{!!primary}]"/>
