Filter only within displayed packets (without re-analyzing entire file)

edit

When working with very large files, is it possible to perform filtering operations within the context of a previous query?

For example, if I have a 500MB file and I use a display filter to show all 1000 ftp packets but then want to add "and frame contains 'Error'" to that filter wireshark will parse the entire 500 MB pcap file for packets that match both conditions and take far longer than if it just checked the 1000 packets it had already found.

Is there a better way to do this kind of search operation?
