+<h3 id="v44_feat_search">Allow Multiple Search Criteria to Match one Field</h3>
+
+<p>
+  In the "Advanced Search" page, it is now possible to build queries using
+  multiple custom search criteria against the same field. In [% terms.Bugzilla %]
+  4.2 and older, queries of the form
+  <br><br>
+  <kbd>"Status changed to VERIFIED" AND "Status changed by foo@bar.com"</kbd>
+  <br><br>
+  were returning all [% terms.bugs %] which had their status changed to VERIFIED
+  by some user and which were edited by foo@bar.com once, but both actions could
+  be independent. In [% terms.Bugzilla %] 4.4, you can now decide if both
+  criteria must match the exact same action or not, i.e. if you want
+  [%+ terms.bugs %] whose status has been set to VERIFIED by foo@bar.com himself.
+  In the same way, queries of the form
+  <br><br>
+  <kbd>"Flags changed to approval+" AND "Flags changed by foo@bar.com"</kbd>
+  <br><br>
+  can now return [% terms.bugs %] for which the approval flag has been set to
+  "+" by foo@bar.com himself. In previous versions, both actions were treated
+  independently and [% terms.bugs %] for which foo@bar.com set the approval flag
+  to "?" and which is then set to "+" by someone else were also returned.
+</p>
+<p>
+  This new feature gives you the ability to build more accurate queries and to
+  get more relevant results.
+</p>
+
+<h3 id="v44_feat_search_perf">Improved Performance for Searches</h3>
+
+<p>
+  The search system got a performance boost which in some cases decreases the
+  time spent to run queries from several minutes to a few seconds only.
+  The more complex your queries are, and the more visible the performance win
+  should be.
