Excellent, both 'fmt=none' and 'save=abc'?

Hmm... isn't 'list' already used?  Either way, 'list' is so generic. What 
about
 	saved-search=abc,-def
or
 	saved=abc,-def
or
 	results=abc,-def

I'm not to happy with them either though.

Yes.

Just keep it for the future... my need isn't that big. This might get 
quite a bit of use as it's a powerful mechanism, so it deserves serious 
consideration.
