->Current&nbsp;searching&nbsp;tools&nbsp;in&nbsp;Bugzilla&nbsp;include&nbsp;the&nbsp;querying&nbsp;mechanism,<br>
-special&nbsp;summary&nbsp;reports&nbsp;and&nbsp;dependency&nbsp;trees.&nbsp;&nbsp;This&nbsp;message&nbsp;is&nbsp;about&nbsp;new<br>
-facilities.<br>
-<br>
-1.&nbsp;General&nbsp;Summary&nbsp;Reports<br>
-<br>
-For&nbsp;some&nbsp;time&nbsp;now&nbsp;it&nbsp;has&nbsp;been&nbsp;apparent&nbsp;to&nbsp;me&nbsp;that&nbsp;the&nbsp;query&nbsp;bug&nbsp;list<br>
-leaves&nbsp;a&nbsp;little&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;desired&nbsp;in&nbsp;its&nbsp;linear&nbsp;nature.&nbsp;&nbsp;There&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;need&nbsp;to<br>
-have&nbsp;categorised&nbsp;subsets,&nbsp;and&nbsp;counts&nbsp;of&nbsp;each&nbsp;category.&nbsp;&nbsp;If&nbsp;you&nbsp;don't<br>
-believe&nbsp;me,&nbsp;how&nbsp;about&nbsp;these&nbsp;facilities&nbsp;already&nbsp;in&nbsp;place&nbsp;or&nbsp;which&nbsp;people<br>
-have&nbsp;asked&nbsp;for:<br>
-<br>
-Most&nbsp;Doomed&nbsp;Reports&nbsp;-&nbsp;Categorised&nbsp;On&nbsp;Assignee,&nbsp;Shows&nbsp;and&nbsp;Counts&nbsp;Number<br>
-of&nbsp;Bugs&nbsp;For&nbsp;Each&nbsp;Assignee<br>
-Bug&nbsp;#15806&nbsp;(Most&nbsp;Voted&nbsp;For&nbsp;Bugs)&nbsp;-&nbsp;Categorised&nbsp;On&nbsp;Product,&nbsp;Shows&nbsp;Bugs<br>
-Voters&nbsp;Most&nbsp;Want&nbsp;Fixed<br>
-Bug&nbsp;#9789&nbsp;(BugAThon&nbsp;Tracking&nbsp;Page)&nbsp;-&nbsp;Categorised&nbsp;On&nbsp;Developer&nbsp;(Subset),<br>
-Counts&nbsp;Number&nbsp;of&nbsp;Bugs<br>
-Bug&nbsp;#9409&nbsp;and&nbsp;#9411&nbsp;-&nbsp;The&nbsp;desire&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;able&nbsp;to&nbsp;report&nbsp;on&nbsp;more&nbsp;subsets.<br>
-<br>
-Hopefully&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;see&nbsp;the&nbsp;gist&nbsp;of&nbsp;what&nbsp;is&nbsp;desired&nbsp;here.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's&nbsp;a&nbsp;general<br>
-reporting&nbsp;mechanism.<br>
-<br>
-This&nbsp;mechanism&nbsp;lets&nbsp;you&nbsp;choose&nbsp;the&nbsp;subset&nbsp;of&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;to&nbsp;operate&nbsp;on&nbsp;(like<br>
-query),&nbsp;let's&nbsp;you&nbsp;categorise&nbsp;them,&nbsp;possibly&nbsp;along&nbsp;with&nbsp;subcategories&nbsp;and<br>
-counts&nbsp;the&nbsp;number&nbsp;of&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;within&nbsp;each&nbsp;category.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&nbsp;might&nbsp;or&nbsp;might&nbsp;not<br>
-show&nbsp;the&nbsp;actual&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;themselves,&nbsp;and&nbsp;it&nbsp;might&nbsp;limit&nbsp;the&nbsp;number&nbsp;of&nbsp;bugs<br>
-within&nbsp;a&nbsp;category,&nbsp;or&nbsp;categories&nbsp;to&nbsp;report&nbsp;on.<br>
-<br>
-I'm&nbsp;further&nbsp;sure&nbsp;that&nbsp;many&nbsp;applications&nbsp;of&nbsp;this&nbsp;mechanism&nbsp;would&nbsp;only&nbsp;be<br>
-recognised&nbsp;once&nbsp;it&nbsp;was&nbsp;implemented.<br>
-<br>
-The&nbsp;general&nbsp;summary&nbsp;reports&nbsp;bug&nbsp;is&nbsp;at<br>
-"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12282".<br>
-<br>
-2.&nbsp;Related&nbsp;Bugs<br>
-<br>
-It&nbsp;would&nbsp;be&nbsp;nice&nbsp;to&nbsp;have&nbsp;a&nbsp;field&nbsp;where&nbsp;you&nbsp;could&nbsp;enter&nbsp;other&nbsp;bugs<br>
-related&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;current&nbsp;bug&nbsp;-&nbsp;it&nbsp;would&nbsp;be&nbsp;handy&nbsp;for&nbsp;navigation&nbsp;and<br>
-possibly&nbsp;even&nbsp;finding&nbsp;duplicates.&nbsp;&nbsp;See<br>
-"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12286".<br>
-<br>
-3.&nbsp;Column&nbsp;Specification&nbsp;Support<br>
-<br>
-Currently&nbsp;query&nbsp;seems&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;what&nbsp;columns&nbsp;to&nbsp;report&nbsp;on&nbsp;from&nbsp;whatever&nbsp;the<br>
-user&nbsp;last&nbsp;used.&nbsp;&nbsp;This&nbsp;doesn't&nbsp;work&nbsp;well&nbsp;for&nbsp;"prepackaged&nbsp;queries",&nbsp;where<br>
-you&nbsp;followed&nbsp;a&nbsp;link.&nbsp;&nbsp;You&nbsp;can&nbsp;probably&nbsp;add&nbsp;a&nbsp;column&nbsp;by&nbsp;specifying&nbsp;a&nbsp;sort<br>
-column,&nbsp;but&nbsp;this&nbsp;is&nbsp;difficult&nbsp;and&nbsp;suboptimal.<br>
-<br>
-Furthermore,&nbsp;I&nbsp;find&nbsp;that&nbsp;when&nbsp;I&nbsp;want&nbsp;to&nbsp;add&nbsp;a&nbsp;column&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;query,&nbsp;it's<br>
-usually&nbsp;a&nbsp;one&nbsp;off&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;would&nbsp;prefer&nbsp;it&nbsp;to&nbsp;go&nbsp;away&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;next&nbsp;query.&nbsp;<br>
-Hence,&nbsp;it&nbsp;would&nbsp;be&nbsp;nice&nbsp;to&nbsp;specify&nbsp;the&nbsp;columns&nbsp;that&nbsp;appear&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;query<br>
-(and&nbsp;general&nbsp;summary&nbsp;report)&nbsp;pages.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;default&nbsp;query&nbsp;mechanism&nbsp;should<br>
-be&nbsp;able&nbsp;to&nbsp;let&nbsp;you&nbsp;specify&nbsp;your&nbsp;default&nbsp;columns.<br>
-<br>
-This&nbsp;proposal&nbsp;lives&nbsp;at<br>
-"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12284".</P
