Just solved.
I need to reset the template menu:

- (IBAction) menu_selectNewFilter:(id) sender {
   NSMenu* searchMenu = [searchField searchMenuTemplate];
    int    tag        = [sender tag];

   [[searchMenu itemWithTag:selectedFilter] setState:NSOffState];
   [[searchMenu itemWithTag:tag] setState:NSOnState];
    [[searchField cell] setSearchMenuTemplate:searchMenu];

       selectedFilter = tag;
}
