filter question: search for a common title in two or several list field

[Mohammad]

• tiddler Tid01 has a list field with values like
• aa bb [[cc and spave]] dd
• tiddler Tid02 has a list field with values like
• uu xx [[tt with space]] dd kk
• a user value is given and it is desired to be checked if it is listed in both Tid01 and Tid02 list fields

One solution may be like this

<$vars tidA="Tid01" tidB="Tid02" x="user value">

<$list filter="[<tidA>contains<x>] [<tidB>contains<x>] +[count[]match[2]]">

it is in both tiddler list field

</$list>

</$vars>

Note: for generality the $vars is used here. For example if user value is dd, then the $list widget shall return "it is in both tiddler list field"

What is the more efficient alternative?

How about searching and checking several user values at the same time?

What do you mean "more efficient"?

I can imagin a few ways to make it more suited to more variables or easier to read the code etc but I am interested in what improvements you are looking for.
