Hello.

New filter window introduced in 2.8 is very useful.
It greatly improves search in views.
But right at the moment I used it, I had some ideas
how to improve it even more.

Main problem is that button Find replaces current search criteria.
It would be more flexible if user can choose - replace current criteria
or add to it new criteria. For example it can be done by adding two
buttons near button "Find":
- button "And" (add current criteria with "And" predicate)
- button "Or" (add current criteria with "Or" predicate)

Approximated scheme:

And in the same way can be done menu with saved filters.
There can be three buttons in every line of saved filter:
- button "And"
- button "Or"
- button "X" (delete)

Approximated scheme:

P.S.
I was not sure where to send this wishreport - here
or to bugtracker with priority "wish". I apologize if I was wrong.
Decided to send here - may be other members further improve
this ideas. Or offer even better.
