I think its important to match the way you search for companies to your investing style. If you prefer the Buffet-like approach to value investing, then screening like you discuss is a good way to go.

As far as your screener specifically, I would change it up by looking at free cash flow as well. Retained earnings and stockholders equity are both balance sheet items, so adding in free cash flow will slightly diversify your screen by looking at cash coming and going out of the company. You could probably run a screen with just retained earnings and free cash flow and find some good success.

If you prefer the Graham route of value investing, I've found more success looking into bombed out industries and using google searches than using fundamental screeners.
