You can still do an edit of a Saved Search, but the process seems to be a bit buggy here and there. See my description of the Leopard version of Spotlight here:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html
The key to amending the search is to use the "gear" icon (for Action) that is in the Finder toolbar. If you don't have it in your toolbar, you'll need to add it:
With a Finder window open, select the View menu, then Customize Toolbar and add the Action tool.
The buggy part comes in if you start to type something in the Search for box at the top. As long as you stick to editing stuff in the criteria section it seems to work fine. Well, except any changes you make seem to be preserved, without hitting Save, even if you go to another Saved search or even another place from the Sidebar; when you click your Sidebar Saved Search what shows up is your amended version, you have to open a new window to "revert" to the original. Not sure whether that is a bug or a feature....but it seems a bit odd to me.
