Yeah, I may have marked the wrong search filters. Couldn't find a 
way to publicly share saved searches so to describe in words, I 
selected "D" for the Product category, "D2" and "D1 & D2" for the 
Version category, and the appropriate flags in the Severity 
category to match the query linked to on the "Bug Tracker" page. 
The header text shown above each query seemed to match that for 
each custom search, other than the text "D2" and "D1 & D2" which 
was added.

After reading through the other posts it sounds like a general 
triage is in order to determine the status of the flag marked in 
the Version category for the D1-related bugs. So those numbers in 
my original post are definitely suspect even if filtered 
correctly.
