Just switch one of the search boxes to seach the source field, and enter the name of the tmx. Leave your search term in the other box.

Hmm, just had a closer look at your suggestion, but this isn't quite what I'd need: I don't always necessarily know the name of the exact TMX that I want to "narrow down on". Actually, I would probably more often want to use this potential new feature to do the reverse.
E.g., I just ran a few searches today when translating and noticed that I was getting a lot of noise from a particular set of parent very large TMXs (specifically: OpenSubtitles2013_en-nl.tmx, which is huge, and contains a lot of garbage). I would like to use this feature in such cases to quickly remove these results. As far as I can tell, there would be two ways to quickly remove specific unwanted results:
1. By implementing some kind of negative filter
2. Or, by implementing a filter as I suggested originally, where I can just filter on a particular column, and thus just ignore the offending results by scrolling past them
What exactly does that new code of yours do?
