I have started creating a "find related" feature in my Add-on QuickFolders. this extracts data from the current mail using user defined (regex) expressions and choice of fields to then initiate a quick search through the API.

Now I would like to add "toggle" functionality which simply looks at the current contents of the search text and erases it if the current search term is already entered. I found there is no way to do this with the current API mailTabs.setQuickFilter(). So a function to read these fields would be good for new functionality.
