--- Comment #29 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
I still have my doubts with the proposed solution.

Currently we have a tri-state checkbox with auto-select on input. Typing
"lorem" shows all content with this keyword, the checkbox "All" is indetermined
allowing to select all or nothing. The UI is clear and easy to understand, yet
lacks on the ability to combine search terms.

If we change the control to "[/] Add Visible", typing "ipsum" could auto-add
the result to the previous "lorem" but unchecking would probably apply to all
items. This is not clear enough. The idea with a checkbox "[ ] Auto select"
before the search term still fails here (and requires additional clicks).
Turning it into "[ ] Add" ends up in a strange workflow where one has to select
the checkbox first to get the intended result - otherwise all previous input
would be lost.

I can imagine some Google-ish/RegEx-like input where "lorem +ipsum" returns a
combination (or one needs to quote to get the exact result). Question is
whether users can deal with this flexibility.

We may show the first results separately, maybe underneath the current. But in
the end as control is missing to combine searches. Don't see how we get there
without plastering the UI with more controls. Any good idea?
