+<H1>A Clue</H1>
+This form will allow you to call up a subset of the bug list.
+You should be able to add the URL of the resulting list to
+your bookmark file in order to preserve queries.
+<p>
+The way the query works, if you have nothing checked in a box,
+then all values for that field are legal, for example if you checked nothing
+in any of the boxes, you would get the entire bug list.
+<p>
+The default value of this form should correspond roughly to a "personal"
+bug list.
+<HR>
+<H2>Running queries not supported by the pretty boxes</H2>
+There is a hacky way to do some searches that aren't supported by the
+form. The buglist script will build queries based on the URL, so
+you can add other criteria.
+<P>
+For example, if you wanted to see all bugs reported against the X platform
+and assigned to jwz, you could ask for all bugs assign to jwz, then
+edit the URL in the "Location" box, adding the clause "&rep_platform=X-Windows"
+to the URL.
+<P>
+Here is a list of some of the field names you could use for additional
+unsupported searches ...
+
+<PRE>
+version
+rep_platform
+op_sys
+reporter area
+bug_file_loc
+short_desc
