The display filter will not affect the data captured, it will only select which packets of the captured data are displayed on the screen.
-Everytime you change the filter string, all packets will be reread from the capture file (or from memory), and processed by the display filter "machine". Packet by packet, this "machine" is asked, if this particular packet should be shown or not.
+Every time you change the filter string, all packets will be reread from the capture file (or from memory), and processed by the display filter "machine". Packet by packet, this "machine" is asked, if this particular packet should be shown or not.
Wireshark offers a very powerful display filter language for this. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from simply: "show only packets from a specific IP address", or on the other hand, to very complex filters like: "find all packets where a special application specific flag is set".
