Here are some ideas on how to make it more obvious:
* increase the vertical whitespace between the number of results & first/prev/next/last links and the header row of the bugs table
* or between the search box and the number of results
* invert the colours of the gear cell so the background is grey and the gear outline is white
* make it a little bit bigger inside its box
* make the border of the gear a little more solid & black
* have it change colour when the mouse moves over it
I agree with Martin's general point about Launchpad's palette.
