Thank you,
If I understand correctly,
the filter is like a "mode"
You enable it and it everything will keep all the search settings it defines until your turn it off, it's like changing the default search parameters
and bookmarks, are basically saved search queries, you can restore a previous search pattern exactly, but if you close the window, it's all gone
As far as functionality, I assume they work the same internally ?
So, they would all be like "settings overlay" that layer on top of one another
like "default search settings" is then modified by "filter search settings" which is then modified again by "bookmarks search settings" on top
Can more than one bookmark be enabled at once ?
Are there other consequences and usages to consider

I was searching the forum for more information and the following topic caught my eye
I tried to find all the "most viewed", "most linked" or "most commented" threads on the topic, but it seems this forum software has no such ability !
