I think I'm missing something Roman,  can't make it work.  Tried a few 
variations:

set -A $list=( "${(@M)list:#(#i)*$SEARCHBUF*}" )
set -A $list=( "${(@M)${(P)list}#(#i)*$SEARCHBUF*}" )
set -A $list=( "${(@M)${(P)1}#(#i)*$SEARCHBUF*}" )

BTW is it possible to redirect the error messages and especially 'set 
-x' output?  All this is with zcurses active so the messages are hidden 
or chopped up.
