I guess I'm just not sure what it adds to change this simple filter. It 
worked and did what it was intended to do. Yes, if there isn't going to 
be an additional filter type, then then at least what your suggesting 
would make it usable. I guess I'm from the school of if it isn't broken 
why "fix" it.

I'm all for new and improved, or adding options for those who maybe 
never worked in dos ;-) Again, I think it's a nice addition, as the 
Standard filter is imho clunky, and it still is. This design should be 
added to that, that is a tickbox situation. It still looks the same.

I'd rather see what is now the "Autofilter" be an "Advanced Autofilter" 
imho that's really what it is, and revert the AutoFilter to what it was.

It's very irritating when functionality is lost. It happened with the 
Find my last update, but at least that was an easy fix.
peace,
