If you want to put two custom dirs to the search stack, things get
little tricky. I suggest that you put your filter (md5) under
Vendor_Filter. Then Add a class Vendor_Model_Filter and have that
extend Vendor_Filter (create this class too). In Vendor_Model (or in
the model you are using) write this:

    protected $_filter_class = 'Vendor_Model_Filter';

I think that should do it :-)
