Want Filter in BNR

Hi,

I am a newbie and I want to understand how the want filter works.  I 
thought the filter will mark the articles I am interested as "wanted" 
but when I try to do that, it does not seem to work at all.  

Say, if I want to mark all the articles which has a subject line 
contains the word "Computer", I can go under Options and then 
Kill/Want.  Under the Want filters tab, create a new filter by 
unchecking the Author and Filename (Headers this filter matches) and 
put the word "Computer" under the RegEx box.  (Groups is any).  When I 
apply the filter, nothing is being marked as wanted (with a default 
color of "green").  (Even though there are articles with a subject line 
containing the word "Computer").  I also try to set up the want filter 
by clicking the article itself and updating the RegEx box but it still 
does not work.  Am I missing some steps here ?  Any help is appreciated.

Larry........
