Search within Filter or Tag-filtered results
Add a textbox at the top of the results of a Tag or Filter "search" labelled:
Search within these results: [ ]
This would let you "drill down" within those results. Ideally, it would let you continue to narrow the search (although you could also just add more search terms to accomplish that)
USE CASE:
Often I use filters to get to a certain collection of items, like "Projects". I then need to "drill down" and search within those results. Currently there is no way to do that short of creating another filter. That's a lot of work (10 or 20 clicks versus 1 click. AND you end up with a bunch of extra filters.
I will be added in MyInfo 7.

Or, for a simpler UI, you could just have a checkbox next to Search:
______________________Search within these results [x]
Or have a second button [Search] [within these results]Or like Google Toolbar: it has a "combo button". The button has a down arrow on it's right edge. You can choose several actions for the button (Search, Search Site, etc.)

Petko,
How about implementing within the search command line?If I want to search a phone number (x-x-x) in documents with the "Projects" tag ->
search: "x-x-x tag:Projects"
This would make this feature really concise and powerful.

This feature would, I believe, quickly become a favorite for many. I have used drill down searches in other applications. I find them to be very easy and powerful. Hope this gets more votes.
