I think when logged in, you get a link "my bugs", which basically
filters by something like "submitter=27" where 27 is the user's UID.

I'd like a way to easily say "show me all the bugs that kowey
reported".  I think there's a way to compose filters using an HTML
form instead of writing the URL directly, but that filter composing
window isn't available until you log in, either.

Logging in is a major pain in the arse, so I'd prefer to only have to
do it when actually MODIFYING stuff -- not merely to have convenient
read access.

Thanks a lot. 
 
It is true that when you are logged in, there is a link, "Your Issues", but for me, at least, it gets me to the issues 
(currently none) to which I am assigned, not the ones I have created. I can modify that request into something
like http://bugs.darcs.net/issue?@sort=-
activity&@group=priority&@filter=creator&@columns=id,activity,title,status&creator=kowey which works, even when not logged in, 
and show me the issues created by kowey. But this is, perhaps, not particularly convenient. 

The "Search" link actually gets you to a form http://bugs.darcs.net/issue?@template=search, even if you are not logged in. You 
are not able to filter on the creator, however, but you can group on the creator, after getting some result, so this seems to 
give you what you want, although somewhat indirectly.

Would adding creator as a possible filter on http://bugs.darcs.net/issue?@template=search resolve this issue for you? I am not 
sure that we should actually do this or whether it would be easy to do, but it would help me to understand this issue better.

Thanks again and best regards
Thorkil

I think so; I'd have to try it.

Hi - there is a creator field on the search form, and it does work.

Thorkil pointed out what I didn't realise, that some search fields were not 
displayed to guests (creator/actor/assigned to). I've changed this and he 
confirmed, so closing this issue - thanks.
