Could someone explain to me the difference between filter and find.  Their
descriptions sound very similar to me.  What are the criteria to choose one
over the other?

TIA!

Filter applies the current selection, while Find searches child elements.

$('td').filter(expr) will remove any TDs that don't match the filter
criteria.

$('td').find('span') will find spans inside tds.  This is functionally
similar to $('td span');

filter will select a certain subset (zero or more) of the already  
selected elements.

find will select a set of (zero or more) elements that are descendants  
of the already selected elements.

Here is an example:

<div class="peanuts">
        <p class="elephants"></p>
</div>
<div class="elephants">
        <p></p>
</div>

$('div').filter('.elephants'); // <-- selects the second div, because  
it has class="elephants"

$('div').find('.elephants'); // <-- selects the first paragraph,  
because it has class="elephants"

* Note that these two examples are very simple and would probably be  
better written as ...

$('div.elephants');

  ... and ...

$('div .elephants');

You can find some more complex examples here:
