Ok, this is much nicer, I think this ends up being much closer to what I really wanted, even if I didn't know quite how I wanted it. I think the "Find" field should highlight things too. Right now there's no way to get highlighting for somebody having signed-off on a patch, for example, even though you can _search_ for it. Also, right now it says "Author/committer", but it actually only triggers on author. Which may be the right thing to do (it's certainly what I'd normally want to see), but it doesn't match the description. Linus
