>The Bugzilla Search page is is the interface where you can find
    any bug report, comment, or patch currently in the Bugzilla system. You
    can play with it here: 
    <A

TARGET="_top"
>http://landfill.bugzilla.org/bugzilla-tip/query.cgi</A
>.</P
><P
>The Search page has controls for selecting different possible
    values for all of the fields in a bug, as described above. For some
    fields, multiple values can be selected. In those cases, Bugzilla
    returns bugs where the content of the field matches any one of the selected
    values. If none is selected, then the field can take any value.</P
><P
>Once you've run a search, you can save it as a Saved Search, which 
    appears in the page footer.</P
><P
>Highly advanced querying is done using Boolean Charts. See the
    Boolean Charts help link on the Search page for more information.</P
