+      Quips are small text messages that can be configured to appear
+      next to search results. A Bugzilla installation can have its own specific
+      quips. Whenever a quip needs to be displayed, a random selection
+      is made from the pool of already existing quips.
+    </para>
+  
+    <para>
+      Quips are controlled by the <emphasis>enablequips</emphasis> parameter.
+      It has several possible values: on, approved, frozen or off.
+      In order to enable quips approval you need to set this parameter
+      to "approved". In this way, users are free to submit quips for
+      addition but an administrator must explicitly approve them before
+      they are actually used.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      In order to see the user interface for the quips, it is enough to click
+      on a quip when it is displayed together with the search results. Or
+      it can be seen directly in the browser by visiting the quips.cgi URL
+      (prefixed with the usual web location of the Bugzilla installation).
+      Once the quip interface is displayed, it is enough to click the
+      "view and edit the whole quip list" in order to see the administration
+      page. A page with all the quips available in the database will
+      be displayed.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      Next to each tip there is a checkbox, under the
+      "Approved" column. Quips who have this checkbox checked are
+      already approved and will appear next to the search results.
+      The ones that have it unchecked are still preserved in the
+      database but they will not appear on search results pages.
+      User submitted quips have initially the checkbox unchecked.
+    </para>
+  
+    <para>
+      Also, there is a delete link next to each quip,
+      which can be used in order to permanently delete a quip.
