Filtering of result list in Forums

Question

When browsing the list of questions in a forum, there is a filter box available that provides 4 options for controlling which questions are displayed:
- All Threads
- Open Questions
- Answered Questions
- Questions with no replies
While these 4 options are useful, I wonder if the list could be expanded or changed to provide better results.
With the new stricter moderation, there are quite a number of threads being locked in some forums.  The "Open Questions" option does not exclude locked posts, but I would suggest that anyone looking for open questions is probably not interested in locked ones.  The "Questions with no replies" option also seems to include locked posts.   Perhaps an additional check-box "Include Locked Posts?" could be added next to the filter dropdown, defaulting to "Off".
Or perhaps just an additional option - "Exclude Resolved and Locked entries"?
The option for "Questions with no replies" might also be more useful if it could be used as "Questions with less than [n] replies" with [n] selectable by the user.
An option to filter the list based on Title "contains" / "does not contain" a specified word would also be of use to limit the display list in forums like ABAP General to items that are of interest.
It would also be nice if the filter option was available to filter the results in the "Recent Threads" part of the display when when looking at group category levels such as ABAP Development. 
Additional options to filter based on view count or author also come to mind.
One that I would like would be the ability to filter based on who has replied to the thread - there are a number of names out there that make me read a thread even when it is a question I know nothing about, just to see what gems the reply contains.  I have learned new techniques more than once in this manner.
Given the number of threads that are posted in ABAP Development each day, any way to control the list of questions viewed will make it more likely that questions will be seen by the person(s) best able to answer them.
I am sure others will have different requirements for filtering the lists depending on their personal approach to reading and responding to questions, and that options available will be restricted by the way the SCN forum data is organised. 
thanks

I wrote the below code
onFilter: function(oEvent) {
     // add filter for search
    var aFilters = [];
    var sQuery = oEvent.getSource().getValue();
    if (sQuery && sQuery.length > 0) {
      var filter = new sap.ui.model.Filter("Mcod1", sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.Contains, sQuery);
      aFilters.push(filter);
    // update list binding
    this._oDialog = sap.ui.xmlfragment("MyDialog", "cus.sd.priceavailability.check.ZSD_PRAV_MON.view.Dialog", this);
    var list = sap.ui.getCore().byId("MyDialog--master1List");
  list.bindAggregation("items", {path:pathStr
         ,template : new sap.m.ObjectListItem(
                {title:"{Mcod1} ",
                  number : "", type: "Active",
                  attributes: [new sap.m.ObjectAttribute({
                        text : "(#{Kunn2}, {Vkgrp}, {Vkbur})"
                  new sap.m.ObjectAttribute({
                        text : "#{Stras}, {Mcod3}, {Regio}-{Pstlz}"
                  filters:aFilters
But displaying the below errors in console
