> Just ran a little test.

Mine:

created new stack with 45565 cards
0 seconds to mark all 45565 cards
0 seconds to unmark all 45565 cards
1 second to mark half the 45565 cards with this on the fly algorithm:
mark cards where ((the id of this card)/2) = round((the id of this 
card)/2)

I would think a there would be a good chance of marking very quickly 
using a custom card property (uCardType) and the content you wish to 
locate, along the lines of (untested):

unmark all cards
mark cards where ((the uCardType of this card is "ledger") and (field 
"lastName" contains "downs"))
