I think I'd use it, but not high priority

- I'd rather have a button to the left of the Restrict to, as it's the sort of thing I'd want to toggle
- If its applied then maybe the button could be highlighted (e.g. edge glow).
- IMO putting it in preferences puts it too far away from saved searches, which I assume it would use
- The Temp Marker drop down might be a good 'template' for the button
- What to put on the button, dare I suggest 'BR' for Base Restriction

I wish all Restrictions could be flagged as persistent

- How about colouring the Restrict To button if a restriction is set - see 2,
- I find the highlight colouring of N of M mildly irritating, and I have to think about what its telling me
I'm not fond of putting things in the title bar - its sometimes hard to read in dark themes, such as the one I use after sunset. I'd rather see things in the status bar (maybe configured via a right click popup set of checkboxes a'la MS Word)
