The input field on the front page in new versions of bugzilla is pretty 
much equivalent to a google search box.

You can enter:

   * a bug number
   * some words, which get searched for in bug summaries
   * use product:... as a search term to limit the search to that
     product (you can do similar for other fields)

For many simple queries, it is more convenient than the main query.cgi page.
