With my global automatic tags, I don't want to be able to override them, (and the fact that I *can* by adding/removing tags is a bug---since, as you point out, the next run of my script will destroy my changes). That's one of the reasons I want to switch to saved searches for my own use of automatic tags. Meanwhile, Martin has talked about having some machine-learning algorithm apply tags, and have it notice when the user adds/removes for feedback to improve its learning. So that kind of use case is something that definitely isn't covered by saved searches. > > To do my "global" searches quickly, I do a similar subsetting, but it's > > much simpler.

What happened with that proposal? Like many other proposals, it's simply waiting for someone to implement it. > Saved searches is a very good idea. I look forward to it.
