--- Comment #5 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
Re-writing the search history sounds like a very bad idea to me.

If we want to have a more explicit list in the search history, it would be a
better idea to change the qualifiers/aliases used in the Advanced Search and
the masthead search. 

That way, the search history (and the search result pages) would be more
user-friendly, but we wouldn't be re-writing anything. This also means advanced
users would have their queries stored in the search history unaltered. As an
advanced user, it would make me happy not to have my searches mangled after the
fact.

Honestly, changing the qualifiers/aliases used in the Advanced Search and
masthead search to something more user-friendly might actually lower the
barrier to entry for people who see things like "au" and "wrdl" in the code and
get intimidated.
