This paper proposes to use local search inside filtering algorithms of combinatorial structures for which achieving a desired level of consistency is too computationally expensive. Local search quickly provides supports for many variable‐value pairs, thus reducing the effort required to check and potentially filter the rest of them. The idea is demonstrated on the
