Andras wanted to create a fast and easy way to search/filter TMs, and he succeeded in it. I have no doubt he can add the requested options, but in the meantime, you could use another browser. For simple things, I use DB Browser for SQLite (formerly known as SQLiteBrowser), it's free, and cross-platform, so even people who still use Windows can benefit from it.

You'd still use the very same TMLookup database, but with a few more options.

Hans, please don't start the whole CafeTran thing on me here too. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about: for years, every single time I requested a feature from the CafeTran developer, Hans would say: "No, that is a silly request: it can also be done, it should be done, using some other little tool ×, because we don't want to bloat CT."
Anyway, I also have DB Browser for SQLite installed on my computer, and occasionally open up my huge TMLookup db in it (primarily to see if I can come up with a way to clean my db of its duplicates). However, I run dozens of searches in TMLookup every day, and quickly filtering on the source column would be a welcome additional feature. There's no way I'd want to open up my db in DB Browser for SQLite (which, by the way, is slow as molasses when it comes to operations across my entire database) every time for this.
And another thing: I don't "still" use Windows. I simply use it. I use it by choice. You couldn't get me to use OS X if you paid me. It just can't do all the stuff I want/need my work OS to do.
