 That's an option.  It's already possible to limit the number of matches
 one sees though.  Instead of using query-pr-summary.cgi to list *ALL*
 the problem reports, a specific query can be given through:
 
 	http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?query
 
 This is what I usually do.
 
 Now that I look at the search form, it would probably be useful to add
 what you describe as an extra search criterion: start date and/or end
 date for the matches.  If someone else doesn't beat me to this, I'll
 work on it during the next days.
