--- Comment #31 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed it again yesterday and the idea was born to go with a "sticky"
workflow. We add a toggle button next to the "[/] All" checkbox that makes the
current selection sticky (indicated by a disabled state and ideally also
separated with a horizontal ruler). Those items wont be affected by any search.
Everything else remains as it is.

Workflow would be to search for "lor", which filters the list to "lorem, lorum,
lorim" and have them checked, to press the sticky button which makes these
items disabled, search for "ips" returning in addition to the sticky and
disabled items "ipsum, ipsen, ipsan", all checked. It should be possible to
untoogle the sticky button, which keeps the current result but enables all
items. User could then deselect "lorim, ipsan", toggle sticky on again, and
search for "dolor".

Sounds flexible and easy to understand as well as simple to implement.
