Provide a search box in both views

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It is currently impractical to find a particular method by its name in both 
views, especially if it doesn't have a big impact on performance. Sometimes, 
it's useful to see how much time a specific method takes, even though it 
isn't a bottleneck. For example, when comparing before and after an 
optimization. A search box (if possible search-as-you-type) would be nice.

I think what I will do is to write up a separate visualizer that gives you a 
lot of
information about a specific function, and put search options in there. It'll
essentially be a cut down version of the NProf style. On the left, a single 
list of
functions sorted by most time exclusive (or inclusive?), with a 
filter-as-you-type
box like how iTunes does it. Then a main pane with all the gory details.

Adding search to the existing visualizers is a little tricky; not 
insurmountable but
enough to miss the 0.2.0 release anyway. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Sound reasonable?

Seems fine to me!

I've put up the first iteration of this in a new Function Details visualizer 
that
will ship with 0.2.0. It's a bit of a rough draft but it should be a decent 
start.

I guess this is what we're rolling with for the time being.
