I think that the search-bar UI could use a bit of improvement too. The
current method does have one advantage, users will notice if a new
version/plugin adds more search-bar options.

Another things that I'm sure will be suggested is a *cough* clear button
*cough*.


If we keep the current UI, it would probably be better to make them
radio buttons (possibly with "indicator-size"=0) so that accessibility
stuff knows they are mutually exclusive.
