In a search user interface for an application a whole bunch of settings can be used to create a filter. A button with a label is meant to kick off the processing using the filter defined by multiple key/value pairs. Is the correct way to label the button Apply Filter (singular) or Apply Filters (plural)? |

Your label could simply say, "Filter" or "Filter Results." You could conceptualize the different settings as being stages of a multi-element filter, so "Apply Filter" would be appropriate. (Or, you could apply the settings interactively and dispense with the button altogether.) |
