This extension mines the launchpad bug search results and re-renders them as a table to allow much easier visual processing. This approach has limitations (see below)
Features:
* renders data as a table, offering sorting by multiple columns with shift-click (note limitations below)
* provides a narrowing function where you can enter multiple search terms to reduce the visible data.
* renders whichever fields you have configured to be visible in the standard LP view.
* provides a button to toggle between standard (data soup) and table view
* hides the right panel to give more usable width for bug data
* alters the layout of the advanced search box to use less vertical space
* shrinks the formatting of the time fields (e.g. creation time)
* gives special highlighting to official bug tags
Limitations:
Since it is just a re-rendering of the data it has some limitations. Sorting or narrowing the table by clicking the column titles only affects the currently visible data. If your bug query has <75 results this is not an issue; otherwise, to change the primary sort you should toggle back to the standard soup view, choose your sort, and return to the table view.
When you hit next/prev to get more bugs, you need to manually revert to the table view to refresh the data.

This makes my life at work so much easier. Thank you very much!
Given its limitations, this is excellent. It’d be even nicer if the next/previous buttons worked as they should
