>Description:
Following up on bug www/111231, here are some suggestions for the search result page - Still all IMHO and open for flames^H^H^H^H^H^H constructive feedback:

Add JavaScript code to sort according to any column (http://www.frequency-decoder.com/2006/09/16/unobtrusive-table-sort-script-revisited is good). This would offload the server (people won't have to do another search to change the sorting).
- Change the table headers into links to sort by that column. Much more natural than looking above the table for the sorting links.
- The legend takes up a lot of space, and is only useful until you learn it. You could move it below the search results or into a side bar to avoid it cluttering the first page of the result. You could also change the "S" column to show the full state name - It doesn't take much space compared to the other fields.
- For those not searching by bug ID, I guess the bug description is more important than the ID. Therefore, I suggest you remove that column and change the description to be the link.

Minor stuff:
- Abbreviations (states, responsibles) could be better understood if marked up with <abbr>.
- If the search results don't include any items of a category, that could be removed from the legend to save space.
