This would offload the server (people won't have to do another search to change the sorting). - Change the table headers into links to sort by that column. Much more natural than looking above the table for the sorting links. - The legend takes up a lot of space, and is only useful until you learn it. You could move it below the search results or into a side bar to avoid it cluttering the first page of the result. You could also change the "S" column to show the full state name - It doesn't take much space compared to the other fields. - For those not searching by bug ID, I guess the bug description is more important than the ID. Therefore, I suggest you remove that column and change the description to be the link. Minor stuff: - Abbreviations (states, responsibles) could be better understood if marked up with . - If the search results don't include any items of a category, that could be removed from the legend to save space. >How-To-Repeat: n/a >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
