The return value is True if an item matches a filter condition implemented in the event handler. Done can be updated to indicate if the item requires additional filtering on the title string in the data item; when it contains True, no additional filtering is needed.

TFilterItemEventEx is the type used for the OnFilterItemEx event handler in TCustomControlFilterEdit.
