This would more properly be an “Announcement” Have you ever carefully built a set of parameters in the Filter Gramplet and finally gotten it to [winnow](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/winnow) down to exactly the right subset of records … only to realize you can’t use that to limit a Report or Export? Then you either have to: 1. Tag the view results _and_ create a Custom Filter for that Tag, or 2. Find all the Rules needed to reproduce the parameters and create a Custom Filter @kku (Kari Kujansuu) has just posted a set of ~~SuperTool-based~~ expansions to the Filter Gramps (called “[**Filter+**](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:Isotammi_addons#Filter.2B)”) in the Isotammi repository. (Use the [Isotammi Configuration dashboard gramplet or manually change your Preferences](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:Isotammi_addons#Isotammi_configuration).) _Thanks Kari!_ ~~Don’t worry, you don’t have to learn SuperTool to use the enhanced **Filter+** Gramplets.~~ They look very similar to the built-in Filter Gramplets. But **Filter+** add-on gramplets are slightly enhanced versions. They do NOT upgrade the built-ins. So you need to add the **Filter+** gramplets to the sidebar of each Category. You _can_ remove the built-in from the sidebar as the addons include all the original features. The enhancements are: - There is a **new Define filter button** that automatically creates a custom filter based on the given criteria. This makes it easy to create simple custom filters. - Selecting the Find button also displays the **elapsed time** to run the filter. - The **“Father”, “Mother” and “Child” allow searching for multiple partial names** in the Family Filter+ fields. They behave the same way as in the “Person” filter: . The regular filter tries to match the entire string exactly. (For example, “en w” matches for the Father in [example.gramps](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Example.gramps) will find 34 families including: “Lawrence Gill” and “Edward Green”. Adding a Child “b te” reduces the list to 4 families.) _This enhancement is already present in the 5.2 Family Filter Gramplet_ - The Citation Filter+ uses **“Very low” as the default confidence** level. The regular filter defaults to “Normal” (which might miss some citations). ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/0/02bc374834960c9a8e2232c34a6dd48588e3eb71.png) Clicking the Define filter button ~~uses the SuperTool framework to~~ scrape the parameters into rules for a Custom Filter. After you add a name, the OK button becomes active. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/1/11118b3ff656b17dd7e19323f6721845da121fe8.png) ---

Thanks for writing this “Announcement”. One comment to clarify a misunderstanding: the Filter+ gramples are **not** based on SuperTool. They have actually nothing to do with SuperTool. ---

Thanks for the correction. But they do have depencies on about 3 Rules where there weren’t built-in Rule equivalents for specifics Filter gramplet options, right? I did not do enough digging to determine if they had to use some of the ‘generic’ addon rules too. ---

An update to Filter+ has been added. The Person Filter+ has been expanded to include a parameter option to search **Death date** and **Death place**. The Isotammi group has occassionally had a need to search for that in the past. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/6/6ad555183ea03043abaacd929f7063d2277f1eed.png) ---
