WinChloe  -  Filtering  Instructions
 
For a step by step example go here.
 
In the first frame, pick the field involved (double-click or press the "Enter" key).
In the second frame, pick the operator (double-click or press the "Enter" key).
Then, select the value and press the "Enter" key. The value depends of the field selected in the first frame. For boolean fields, you can select 'Vrai' (true), 'Faux' (false) or 'Null' (indefinite). The Null value can be selected for every field by clicking on NULL

The filter can contain several lines separated by the boolean "Et" ("AND") or "Ou" ("OR") . To add brackets, click in the first column of the grid (to open) and in the third column (to close). To delete the last line, click on Effacer la derniere ligne.

To get the translation of most of the stipulations and aims, select 'Stipulations' or 'Buts' in the menu 'Table Auxiliares'.

Question:
U is one of the conditions available.  How do I search for U-Chess problems?  I do not see a way to search for 'conditions'.
Answer:

"Conditions féeriques" "Like" "U"
 
Question:
What would be a good filter process for 'en passent' problems?  I am thinking that I could search for 'e.p.' in the solution, but that won't find all problems.  I would be missing the ones where there is the threat of e.p. but e.p. doesn't occur.  Also, the won't pull out the ones where retro analysis is needed.
Answer:

Use the query : "Thèmes" "like" "Prise en passant" NOTE:  I combined the two suggestions for my search.
 
Question:
Can you advise if there is a searchable theme in WinChloe for problems where there are only pieces and no pawns.  I believe it is referred to as 'aristocrat
Answer:
Create the requete :
"Nature des pieces" "Not like" (put a white pawn on the board and 'OK') "Et"
"Nature des pieces" "Not like" (replace the white pawn by a black pawn and 'OK')
