I think it’s possible, but not very recommandable. I didn’t test it on the web, but my experience in the Notes client is that changes to the selection formula are reliable only after closing/reopening the database.Another way to go is to populate a folder on the fly and then show the folder. It will be often faster and more reliable.

You might investigate using “restrict to category” as a way to implement this functionality without forcing the server to completely re-index a view. Conducting a search and displaying the search results page is also a good way to do this. Note that if you have multiple users changing the selection formula of the same shared view, they are going to be interfering with each other.
