Related to this are two other suggestions:

(1) Be able to keep all references you have already found, and simply ADD
to this set, rather than REPLACE this set, with the results of an
additional search.

(2) After you have found a set of references, be able to selectively
discard (from the found set, not from the reference library) references.

It seems that the way EN+ is currently set up, you must at some point come
up with a single, possibly very complicated boolean set of search criteria
which, in one fell swoop, will give you exactly the references you want.
Implementing the above suggestions would often simplify this task greatly.
