Having worked several years with the Windows GUI, I have gotten quite accustomed to the use of the “Filter expression” for certain cases. For the customer product it was not a standard option I would have explained to my users, but they did solve certain search situations for the more advanced. A very powerful tool actually.

What is the likeliness this feature will find its return in the Universal GUI?

Mainly also as the route for the SF is to be the Universal GUI and not the Windicium GUI that was mentioned several years ago. The reason I was not asking before as I was awaiting that last to make its appearance.
 

Pressing the little arrow down made it available
Possible to filter several conditions like a Boolean function


 

Able to also input it as a text (which you could use to recreate the filter as it never got a feature to save these).

 

@Mark_Plaggenborg as you indicate yourself: it's a nice feature for a small group of power users! We are not sure this will be a supported feature in the Universal GUI. I suggest that you create an Idea for this, so we can hear from the Community to what extend they currently use this and if they need this in the future.

So you know, we are sure about the fact that Filter & Search capabilities in the Thinkwise Platform are limited. We do intend to improve these capabilities significantly during the coming year. As a first, we are working on support for Search & Filter in Lookup and Detail tabs (see Roadmap). I assume that will cover a couple of use cases for which you would now need Filter expressions like the AND/OR options.
