Boolean Chart Redesign

[David Marshall]

A little bit more on this, with a new idea!

Someone at Y! was asking about how to create a search that OR's two
completely unrelated criteria.  My advice was to just create two separate
searches, because IMO Bugzilla isn't really intended to let you build up "My
One True Bug Search" that has anything and everything in it.

That got me thinking: what if Bugzilla allowed you to provide multiple saved
searches to buglist.cgi with the result being either the union or
intersection of the searches?  If I could save that search, it becomes
fairly easy to build a query that is as arbitrarily as complicated as I
like.  If Boolean charts become Javascript-y, perhaps membership in a saved
search could be a Boolean chart condition?
