You can do this easily with the standard search form. You end up with a
*super* long URL mostly consisting of "value1=&value2=&value3=" -- I just
stripped those out. But there's no problem leaving them in for bookmarks or
memorized searches -- or just searching again.

I agree that it's annoying that there's no search checkbox for "all open
states" -- instead, you have to select all four such states in the list box.
But if you make having those options selected be the default search (again,
easily done) then every time you go to the search page, that'll be already
done. You then can hit search to get the current complete list of open
issues, or add further restrictions (select the kernel component from that
list, or highlight the release versions you want to look at).

Nah, just linearly, unless you really need to have memorized searches that
include all various possible *combinations* of releases. For my own
bugzilla, which has three currently-supported releases, I have three
memorized queries for each:

  Velouria  Open            <- new, in progress, etc.
            Fixed           <- package built, awaiting QA
            Verified        <- passed QA, awaiting "publication"
  Bossanova Open
            Fixed
            Verified
  Doolittle Open
            Fixed
            Verified


And then I also have an "Unconfirmed" which shows all newly-filed incoming
bugs in all releases, and "Assigned to Me" for the ones where I'm the bug
assignee and "QA for me" for when I'm the QA contact.



Okay, I really have to go. More later. :)
