This RFE has been addressed by new functionality shipped with CICS Explorer 5.5.0.17 which is now available.
A new text entry facility for scoping requests has been added to the CICSplex Explorer view in CICS Explorer. It allows specification of a CICSplex name and a system group or individual CICS system and will prompt with possible values. This allows easier navigation across multiple CICSplexes and across a large number of CICS regions to facilitate quicker scoping of requests than can be achieved by scrolling through possible options and clicking.
This is something we would like to address. The RFE is being moved into 'Planned for Future release' status. Please note:

We need this facility too. Scope/Context filters make life much more easier for complex cicsplex environments. Due to the this function wui is still favourable than cics explorer in daily work.
Wonderful Idea --- I'd like to also suggest if I may, the ability to set filters on both CICSPlex/Context and SystemGroup/Scope, similar to the ability available on the various resource views from the operations category. For large shops this ability would permit more rapid navigation to "areas of interest".
