<p>I support this, and looking at the relatively minor modifications, I don't see this as a plugin. Instead, I would rather see an three-way option (top, bottom or dialog). Search bar at the bottom is probably more widely adopted in other programs.</p>
<p>It looks like you re-use the dialog's interface widgets, which is kind of neat, as it simplifies supporting both options. However, the search bar looks a bit muddled in the screen shot.</p>
