Hmmm. The performance impact of dupefinding today would cause real
problems if we did things this way, but I can see how it would be neat
to do this -- a big box which says "Describe the problem you're
experiencing" and you'd get searching without a page load!

OTOH, this only supports the "find a specific bug" use case for bug
searching; the other use case, build a list to look at, still needs
advanced controls and so on. But maybe that's where our interface falls
apart -- we only have one generic mechanism for both use cases.
