TonyM That's awesome!
And it's the answer to my (sub-) question in this thread here: How to use a variable in Advanced Search <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/zssmbBGM99w/Ep8xqCEbBwAJ> Do you think you could extend this approach in the following way? - in a tiddler (e.g. titled: "automation task") with - your Filter-Var & Filter code, optically separated in its own frame - this frame/section contains in addition a button labled"execute/run" - and you click the button - to open the Advanced Search tiddler - to jump to the tab/register "Filter" - to insert `[fields[]!subfilter{$:/temp/filtervar}]` - and as result the Advanced Search lists the matches Is something like this possible with WikiText?
