I've been using Remember The Milk for year, but recently started looking to move to Workflowy

One feature of RTM I really like is smart lists.

With smart lists you are essentially able to save a search for tasks as a selected item in the navigation.

RTM has a rather advanced options for search criteria

This is current somewhat possible in Workflowy as you can star a search. However, often the search string itself is not the most intuitive label for the search.

For example I'd like to use the Eisenhower Method to prioritize work. My starred search are now shown as.

 

• #important #urgent in Home
• #important -#urgent in Home
• -#important #urgent in Home
• #important -#urgent in Home

Instead I'd like to be able to rename these, and any other complicated search query, so i could  have

• Important and Urgent
• Important Not Urgent
• Not important Urgent
• Not Important Not Urgent

  As a workaround you could use WFx and you create your own shortcuts for searches, e.g. p1 for important + urgent, p2 for important + not urgent
