You can save a query once you're logged in, and it appears as a
pseudo-bookmark at the bottom of each bugzilla page. I create one for
kernel for each release, and use it countless times per day. I only ever
use search if I'm looking for something in particular, like 'bugs
pertaining to snd-nm256'.
That last one is my usual case, tripping over bugs in random packages.
