@username search

[mef]

add a @username search to let visitors lookup the rank of a specific person. Depends on #16

Search result display logic:

the resulting row should be highlighted (i.e. changing background's color)

If the searched user is already present in the page
    then scroll to his position
else
    if the user belongs to the currently filtered category
        then display the user in an extra row at the bottom of the table, even if there is a gap between rank of last displayed user and of searched user.
    else
        remove the category filter and display the user in the global ranking

update 16-07-2013:

• as discussed on the phone and after testing in dev environment, search will lookup both name and description texts
• search looks up all users in the database, in the currently selected category (therefore logic described in the first writing of the issue, above, is deprecated)

Would this one fit in 0.3 ?

alternative logic: on user search, display a user profile page, showing his rank in each category he belongs to.

Currently I have implemented a simple filtering directly on the datagrid. Please have a look when I commit and we can discuss

[mef]

issue with current implementation:

1. search a specific term and submit the form. Results get displayed
2. close browser
3. reopen browser. data table is empty, an alert shows "No Results Found", instead of displaying users.

Expected behavior would be either to show results of the previous browser session's search, or to display all twittos without term filtering (therefore also clearing the search text input)

happens at least in firefox.
