A computerized search filtering method includes receiving on a client system a query from a querier; receiving a selection for a filter record from the querier, the filter record including a set of filter elements; retrieving the filter record from a filter-record database; transferring the query and the filter record to a search filter; adding at least one of the filter elements to the query to generate an amended-query; performing a document-corpus search to identify a set of documents relevant to the amended-query; identifying a subset of the documents that include at least one of the filter elements; and displaying on a display of the client system a set of search results for the subset of the documents.
