[Scidvspc-users] Saving series/combinations of search criteria

[John G. <joh...@gm...>]

I was thinking about opening repertoires recently. Chessbase appears to 
have a feature in which the user outlines his repertoire and can then 
easily search a database for any games in the repertoire. Obviously a 
Scid user can do this by searching a new database for each position one 
at a time. However, it would be nice to be able to outline a repertoire 
once and then be able to use it in searches easily going forward. 
Essentially, this would consist of the user doing a series or 
combination of searches on a database and then somehow saving those 
searches as a single search file that could be used later. In fact, 
there would be no reason why this would have to be limited to the issue 
of repertoires. I might have some very specific, complicated search that 
I often do involving ratings, years, material patterns etc. It would be 
nice to be able to create complicated searches and then save them so 
that they could be used later with just a few clicks. I see that Scid 
vs. PC already has such a thing as saving and loading searches but this 
only seems to be possible for one single search of a specific type (e.g. 
one general search). I am interested in combinations of searches using 
AND/OR options and combining different types of searches (position, 
general, material/pattern, moves). Is there currently any way to do 
something like this, and if not, would this be very hard to implement? 
Thanks.
