I put the button back on the search bar, its easier to understand now because as well as the Blues Bar (red striped) it it also shows the word "Highlight" or "Filter".

I think it's these options:

IIRC the problem is, if the PI stashes the current value when should it restore the stashed value? The PI has no natural "I'm done with using this" state.

And, there's another 'bug': if books are excluded in Find Duplicates their id's are stashed in the database. If there's anything stashed when calibre starts those books are Marked and a gold pin shows on the left -- which is confusing. The plugin needs to be reworked to avoid use of the same mechanism as the Mark books tool.

The code of the now deprecated Temp Marker PI might assist in 'fixing' this. In essence the built-in Mark books tool replaced the Temp Marker PI.
