Any kind of search, etc can be put into a URL.  This is what I have so
far.

Yes, these are not features I would use in practice - previously I dealt
with a system that had hundreds of items.  The more useful one is a
dependency tree, but there's no examples of that right now, since there
aren't enough bugs.

Do you mean this page?

I don't know how much control I have over this setup.  But probably
the best way to organise this is simply via predetermined URLs.  Anyone
wanting to use more sophisticated features is free to do so.
