That's not going to happen.

I'm not excited about this either.  Currently, we allow users to  
create virtual searches/folders on the search page.  This request is  
essentially asking for a UI to be able to list a series of headers  
they want to search.  Not only is this not easily done given the  
current UI/UX of the search screen, a user would ALSO have to have  
knowledge of which search fields are text searches as opposed to flag  
searches or combination searches.

That's a lot of UI issues to deal with for a feature that would have  
little use.  Unless someone is willing to fund this development, this  
enhancement request will probably be rejected.
