Meaning we run the risk of potentially damaging existing libraries (at the extreme), or at the very least, tell users that they need to manually massage their existing preference files to work with the new format that will be required to store more fields per saved-search entry.

I'm sure that some ways around the backward compatibility issue could be found, but the point is that it's a huge factor when considering how to implement such a feature expansion.
I know now, I may go ot see the sourse code to check it.
