The input of a run is normally a list of all the non-[[shadow|ShadowTiddlers]] tiddler titles in the wiki (in no particular order). But the `+` prefix can change this:
|Prefix|Input|h
|`-`, `~`, `=` or none| <$link to="all Operator">`[all[]]`</$link> tiddler titles, unless otherwise determined by the first [[filter operator|Filter Operators]]|
|`+`|the filter output of all previous runs so far|
|`-`, `~`, `=`, `:intersection` or none| <$link to="all Operator">`[all[]]`</$link> tiddler titles, unless otherwise determined by the first [[filter operator|Filter Operators]]|
|`+`, `:filter`|the filter output of all previous runs so far|
Precisely because of varying inputs, be aware that both prefixes `-` and `+` do not behave inverse to one another!
