[SOLVED] Creting a filter for direct children

Post by GSD »

I want to create a filter that will do what adding "parent:" before the current search text does and I'm stumped. Whatever I add to the search box in the filter edit dialog gets treated as, well, an additional filter and not as a modifier for the current search text, which is what I'm after.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

In the Filer, set Search to:
parent:$param:

Excellent! Is there an explainer of "$param" somewhere in the documentation? I'd ike to read up on it, but can't find it. Anyway, thank you!

Hover over the macro field in the filter or bookmark:
Use $param: to reference the parameter passed to the macro.
