Rick, I don't believe I have explained it correctly.
What we use at the moment is the eXtreme Table at http://extremecomponents.org/extremesite/welcome.jsp If you notice at the top of the columns, they have a text box where the user can enter data and filter / search a column for data. This lets the user drill down quickly to the item the need. We started out with the display tag and believe that it has a better look and feel, but it did not do this filtering for us. Maybe you are right and this is out of the scope of the display tag. I could see a way you might be able to edit the list behind the scenes (AJAX?) and wrap that around the display tag and make it appear like it is doing the filtering / searching.

It'll handle whatever you put in the list, so you should filter the list going into the display tag. Display tag is for DISPLAYING (thus the name :^). How you handle data sets should dealt with elsewhere. So... not being on the project team, I really shouldn't speak for them, but I can say with about 99% certainty that there are no plans to add this in the future.
