I find the paradigm of filling out a form to be depressing as a developer. I'd much prefer to be able to compose a set of predicates through which I filter all the bugs in my system. This would enable all sorts of queries that are currently impossible in the existing Advanced Search. The UI could be any sort of standard Query Builder.
Logical operators I'd like to see:
AND, OR, IN, NOT, grouping ()
And then I'd just drop "Group By" in v1, and prefer the ability to sort any column by clicking on its header.
I may spend some time on this myself, though I'm not an avid PHP programmer.
I assume other folks have proposed this kind of idea before? Thanks guys!
