How about this: Make the the default name the search. The "search:" leader in the bar would match the name of the search in the quotes after that leader, but if match fails, it would treat the contents as a search as if the leader and surrounding quotes were not there.

Counter proposal:
1. If the save search button is pressed when the combo box is displaying nothing (blanks), then the search is used as the name (as you suggested).
2. Another button is added that would copy the search associated with the currently selected name to the search box. You could them edit to your heart's content.
The first deals with (your) #2 and #3. The second lets you easily get the search string to edit it, and (should you wish) after editing you could push the save button to copy the changed search into the original name.
If the above are done (and in particular the second), I begin to wonder whether I need to build a more general-purpose editor dialog. Everything one would want to do with the dialog could be done directly from the search line. This would simplify the tag browser implementation (I think).
