I'll completely disagree with that.

I have a pile of saved searches. When I start "mending" a book, I select most of them, and hit find. Decide if this is an actual problem, and hit find and replace, or find to move on. Repeat until all the problems have been fixed. it isn't quite as simple as that, but a lot quicker than copying the search terms from a text file for 20 or so searches.
