Answer:
Found it. I had a few tables in my document. What I failed to realize was that each cell in the table had an associated value for the Make/Model attribute, but the value isn't shown in the Column since it was associated with a table. Hence the filter based on the Attribute (which found the table cells) didn't match the filter based on the displayed Column.

Hi,

I have an object attribute that designates a make and model for one of our products. Since most requirements apply to various makes and models, the attribute is an enumerated type: R-LIB, R-RIB, R-CAB, R-LOB, R-ROB, S-LIB, S-RIB, S-CAB. For example, a single requirement might apply to both R-LIB and R-RIB, or perhaps S-CAB and R-CAB. You get the idea.

Anyway, I wanted to find all the requirements that apply to the "R" make. When I setup my filter to show the requirements that have a Make/Model attribute value including R-LIB, R-RIB, R-CAB, R-LOB, or R-ROB, I get 508 results. For some reason, I thought it might be better to try using the Column tab, so I then revised my filter to show the requirements where the Make/Model column (based on the same attribute) contains "R-". This yeilded 489 results.

....Why are the number of results different? Am I being stupid here and not realizing something?

My attribute filter looks like this:

((((Make/Model includes R-CAB) OR (Make/Model includes R-ROB)) OR (Make/Model includes R-LOB)) OR (Make/Model includes R-RIB)) OR (Make/Model includes R-LIB)

and the Column filter looks like this:

Column 'Make/Model' contains "R-"

Thanks for any ideas and/or smacks updise the head.
