However, my more specific point was that this kind of 'save search' requires a re-running of the search, whereas a "smart group" feature would be a 'group' that constantly kept up with things that match that search. In iTunes, for example, if you make a smart playlist, with the match criterion of "Artist = Ami Mann", then when you added songs by that artist, they would be in the playlist. You don't re-execute a search for those. But, the feature you describe is *very* useful and it's good that you mention this in the context of this discussion. -- Gary
