I don't think this would quite achieve what I am talking about.

I guess if you had the ability to have Search results showed in the tree, then you could do 1 Search to filter the tree and define that search such that it included Search1, Search2, and Search3, and then Search1, Search2, and Search3 would have to be able to be applied to all items shown in the tree rather than all items in the database. However, this would make it a two step process.

As it is now, you could define Search1, for instance, to include a [i]criteria[i] that effectively limits it to parent's siblings (the same effect as doing what is described above). However, that is not always so easy to construct.

So, in other words, I would still consider this a separate (and probably simpler) feature request from the one in the Creating Views thread.
