Wonko,
have you ever hit the "Edit filter" button next to the "Search collection" 
line? The Amarok handbook is a wiki, _YOU_ can edit it! (once you have 
understanding how it works)

Note that playlist filter is much less powerful than the collection one. (you 
really should use the collection one)
