Fixed the default search to use 'all' by default and make it available for non-logged-in users in r82240 and fixed the grouping in r82241.

I would like to see the default search (the one run by the search box) changed a bit to make it more likely that non-developer users will find existing but possibly closed bugs that match their problem.  I would recommend that the default be to search all bugs.  I would also like to see the search results ignore the issue priority, and be sorted in descending order (most recently updated bugs listed first).  Hopefully this would reduce the incidence of duplicated bug reports.

(I also note that even as a developer I often run this search, which I can't really set up as a canned search since I need to input the search string, so I would find it useful for myself for it to be the default search.)
