Swicky,

I am sure it would be possible to apply  an unknown number of filters in a 
filter search.

I think there would be more value in explaining what you want to do, than 
asking questions halfway through your current attempt to answer these 
questions.

There are a number of ways to concatenate text of any type into a variable 
which you can then use in a filter and other places. Of course the order is 
important in filters.

Similarly you can use nested <$list widgets to separate the "problem" into 
a number of filter statements rather than trying to force many into one. 
The trick is to use the variable=variablename parameter of one list widget 
as the "input" "[<variablename>... to the next List widget, unless you 
always refer to current Tiddler and do not use the variable parameter.

The reality however is, what are these filter meant to achieve?, because 
once experienced with filter's there is a lot that can be done with "smart" 
filters". Perhaps you do not need to concatenate these filters as you 
think. 

Why are your filters unknown in number and what are they trying to find.

Regards
Tony
