That should clean up the code a bit as well. Then we're left with
picking the sensible names. I just use "other" and "no tags" myself. Do
you see value in e.g. surrounding them in brackets like "[other]" and
"[no tags]" to signify they are special? Better ideas? I'm not a native
speaker...

And while at it, how about also making append the non-customizable, IMHO
sensible, default for saved searches in patch 2/4?
