: Looks like the basic requirements are done for this. If you find something missing, reopen and let me know.

ndushay: two reported bugs with this ... need work.

: Rearchitected along with the new Saved Searches feature. Only IDs are stored (Integers) in the session. The actual items are stored in the new searches database table. Admins will want to run some sort of cron job that removes old items without user_ids in the table. Non-null user_ids indicate the search is saved by that user. Otherwise, items with old update dates and no user_id should be cleaned out periodically to keep database table from getting too large.
