OH...can I just export PART of my Saved Searches?
Oh, all right - yes you can

Select the items that start with a bang '!' (signifying temporary), export them, then delete them. I export them to C:\_Calibre\EditorSavedSearches\ with a suitable file name (e.g. the series name,json). When they are imported they will be appended to the list, i.e. they'll appear after the permanent items.

IMO that's easier and safer than editing files in the configuration folder, and I'm not throwing something away that I might be able to reuse in the future.

If one could 'hide selected' and 'reveal all hidden items' (within a session only) then that could address your abhorrence to scrolling. One could hide the permanent items whilst working with the temporary items.

Added - we cross posted, had a breakfast break!

I'll do some tests on the ordering issue - IMO they should retain the top to bottom order they had when selected - but I also have a vague recollection that in Windows at least, multiple selected items aren't necessarily iterated in that order (sorry that's geek babble).
