I would use locate after set filter command for speed. The best suggestion, of course, would be to use SET KEY instead of filter. Honestly, I could not make it work right in one of my application, but may be I didn't try hard enough. Besides, in my case I have only ~1000 records, so perfomance is not a problem.
