I have added READ/Title=string to select the next item which contains the
specified string as a substring in the subject.
     
You can also use read/new/title=string to only look for unread items in this
way.
     
A more generalized form of accept doesn't make a lot on sense - kill is a
filter blocking out specific items from a general search for unread items.
The opposite is specifying what you want to read, and the syntax and style of
kill filters is not the bext way of setting this up.
