I think this is very close. A literal search is memorable because it
represents itself; if you need to reuse it, you can mostly just
re-type it. A regexp is not memorable because of unpronounceable
punctuation around the literal parts. So, when you need to reuse a
regexp, you have to either reconstruct it again (spending time), or
lift it from history.

Being able to name searches (and possibly search/replace pairs, too)
is an interesting idea. See success story: Thunderbird (where search
criteria on messages can be saved as a virtual folder).
