I would like to get full XML output (not RSS) for a search results, and be able to maintain this without having to post search and hit XML button each time.

i.e. I want the URL which generates the XML to run from buglist.cgi not show_bug.cgi.

This is not easily possible.  The link on the search results page is a post with a list of bug id's to the show_bug.cgi script and not the buglist.cgi script.

It would be really useful if you could add the XML output to this script.

That way when the search changes, I don't have to update the URL to get the XML output.

I have had a search through the bugs to see if this has already been recorded as an enhancement, but I cannot find one.

Many thanks

Mark

hope that makes sense.
