Run SavedSearches on import

Not sure if it should be done with a plugin or in Sigil itself. I'm sure many here have developed over time a set of regex searches that they apply for every file added to the book (and then some specific to the book). It would be nice to have something like a checkmark next to saved-searches entries/groups that will run those entries automatically upon importing with "Add Existing Files". It's only a small convenience, I know (replacing having to Ctrl-Alt-F -> select group -> Replace all), but any savings adds up. I will also cast my vote for preserving search flags.

Thanks!
