Someone posted in a Thread about an equivalent Rule being _missing_ for one field in one category of the Filter Gramplets. (Equivalent Rules are needed in all categories to make the Filter+ scraping feature universal. )

I cannot seem to find it. Can the OP point out where the **Missing Rule message** was posted? (A reference can be added in the [Thread discussing the integration of the Filter+](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/can-add-on-gramplets-use-the-lib-plugin-type-to-supersede-built-ins/5422) features into 5.3 version.)

A feature request has been posted to expand the broad scope filter rules to the categories where it is missing: the “General filter” to search for a substring

[0013226](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=13226): expand rule “People : People with records containing ” to all categories

Likewise the “Events:Event filters:Events matching parameters” rule is a superset of the “Events:General filters:Events with \<data\>” rule. (There’s a [13124](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=13124) bug report about consolidating them.)

So we need a discussion of which is preferable (more intuitive) then consolidate in Events while expanding to have a comparable rule in all categories.

The mystery has been resolved. The posting was subsequently withdrawn.

So let us continue to the discussion:

- which subcategory the Parameters/\<data\> rule is preferred: General or the category.
- should the rule be labeled with ‘Parameters’ or ‘\<data\>’
