 * Is there a detail documentation on this 2 functions that I’m missing? What do
   they do and how can I correctly use them? I’ve created a group and a filter, 
   then what? I believe they are for controlling posts and pages under a filter 
   group or filter.
 * If you have 2 category of posts and you want to set different plugin filters 
   and apply on the 2 category respectively. What will be the proper settings like
   and how to use the groups and filters? Assuming both categories have about a 
   thousand posts in totality.

 * Filter Groups are just for grouping your plugin filters into categories to make
   them easier to manage. Plugin filters apply settings to whatever URL you put 
   in the permalink field.

 * If your permalink structure includes the category name then you can use a plugin
   filter. If your category names were category1 and category2 You could create 
   2 filters with the permalinks [http://www.yoursite.com/category1/](http://www.yoursite.com/category1/)
   and [http://www.yoursite.com/category2/](http://www.yoursite.com/category2/).
   Then check the also affect children checkbox and enable fuzzy url matching on
   the plugin organizer settings page.
