Quicksearch is a single-text-box query tool which uses
metacharacters to indicate what is to be searched. For example, typing
"<literal>foo|bar</literal>"
into Quicksearch would search for "foo" or "bar" in the
summary and status whiteboard of a bug; adding
"<literal>:BazProduct</literal>" would
search only in that product.
You can use it to find a bug by its number or its alias, too.

You'll find the Quicksearch box in Bugzilla's footer area.

If you would like to access the bug list from another program
it is often useful to have the list returned in something other
than HTML. By adding the ctype=type parameter into the bug list URL
you can specify several alternate formats. The supported formats
are: Comma Separated Values (ctype=csv), iCalendar (ctype=ics),
RDF Site Summary (RSS) 1.0 (ctype=rss), ECMAScript, also known
as JavaScript (ctype=js), and finally Resource Description Framework
RDF/XML (ctype=rdf).
you can specify several alternate formats. Besides the types described
above, the following formats are also supported: ECMAScript, also known

<title>Adding/removing individual bugs from bug lists</title>
<para>
You can at any time add and remove individual bugs to a special type
of saved searches, known as <quote>lists of bugs</quote>. The distinction
between both types is that saved searches, as described in the previous
section, are stored in the form of a list of matching criteria, while
a list of bugs is an enumerated list of bug numbers. As it is a simple
list of bug numbers, you can easily edit this list by either adding or
removing bugs from it. To enable this feature, you have to turn on the
<quote>Add individual bugs to saved searches</quote> user preference,
see <xref linkend="userpreferences" />. This feature is disabled by
default.
</para>
<para>
This feature is useful when you want to keep track of several bugs, but
for different reasons. Instead of adding yourself to the CC list of all
these bugs and mixing all these reasons, you can now store these bugs in
different lists, e.g. <quote>Bugs I want to see fixed before the next
release</quote>, <quote>Interesting bugs</quote>, or <quote>Bugs I have
to think about</quote>. One big advantage of this way to manage bug lists
is that you can easily add or remove bugs one by one, which is not
possible to do with saved searches without having to edit the search
criteria again.
