Haha thanks, I'm doing my best
Anyway, to update, I have discussed the topic of search and filters with the development team and they have confirmed that this is high priority on their list of things to do. At this stage all I can say is that there will definitely be some enhancements made to the search feature in 3.1, although I don't have the specifics about exactly how it will improved yet. If for some reason they aren't able to fully implement all that they are aiming for in 3.1, then it will certainly be an ongoing project with further improvements to continue..
