sharing a buglist.cgi url is a reasonably common event.

currently the queries generated from the advanced search page for logged in users contains a token, which makes the url much longer and unwieldy.

http://example.com/buglist.cgi?list_id=2494300&short_desc=test&resolution=---&query_format=advanced&token=1342029085-524e85bf8eed9340b6a493650058c1d3&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&product=Bugzilla

vs

http://example.com/buglist.cgi?list_id=2494300&short_desc=test&resolution=---&query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&product=Bugzilla


'token' needs to be added to the canonicalise_query call in buglist.cgi.
we could clear the token field with javascript unless the remasdefault checkbox is checked.

while playing around with custom searches, i found a few other places where the token will get into the query_string.  i'll attach an updated patch soon.

All this code can and should be replaced by a one-liner:

  [% new_url = cgi.canonicalise_query("token") %]

But I don't fully agree with your patch. I think it should be combined with the previous block:

  [% new_url = cgi.self_url %]
  [% IF quicksearch %]
    ....
  [% ELSIF cgi.param('token') %]
    [% new_url = cgi.canonicalise_query("token") %]
  [% END %]

This way we are sure we are not overriding what has been done in the [% IF quicksearch %] ... [% END %] block.

Please fix that on checkin (or upload another patch if it needs some additional testing again).
Do not forget to address comment 6.

while the patch applies with minimal changes to 4.2, it doesn't work due to other changes.  working on fixing that now.
for 4.2 i've implemented everything except for removing the token from the displayed url after you update your default query parameters, as this sits on top of changes from bug 730670.

Ugh not sure how I missed that. Forgetting searches also fails as well.

I think a more robust fix would have been to extract the token at the top of buglist, before calling $cgi->redirect_search_url, else the code will break everytime we add a new token to buglist.cgi. The only problem is that the token would be lost if we get a redirect.
