On pages like:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=emacs;max-bugs=100;base-order=1;bug-rev=1

...the search form should probably be at the top, since searching is
extremely common (the web logs might confirm that it's more common than
actually clicking on a bug found directly on one of the listing pages).

Best,
-Karl

I think a better solution is to put a simple search at the top, with
an advanced search link that either jumps to the bottom of the page,
or goes to a separate search page. I'm working on this.

Eg I often look at

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?newest=50

I certianly don't want that search form at the top. It's a fairly dumb
search form, but that is a separate issue.

That sounds like a great solution to me.  Thanks!
