Change search output to use a dedicated HTML object #52

Problem

Currently, the output / status of the search is simply printed to the cell. This quickly leads to the cell overflowing. Additionally, the GUI elements move to the top which also decreases usability.

Proposed solution

Use a status bar to represent the progress of the search / python pipeline - the Jupyter widgets exist.
Only show the most recent output line in a dedicated HTML element - this could even be nicely formatted.

As this might be quite some work, I didn't set a Milestone yet.

@jgriss When the output of script becomes too large it switches to scrolling. By chance, the original output was short enough.

I think it can be solved like this:

Fixing the output height (removes the overflow)
Redirect the print statement output to dedicated UI element for output that will scroll. There are examples for this and it's not hard to do.

Hi @gvinterhalter

I already disabled the scrolling of very long cells.

about the second thing: That was the idea. One could oven couple this with a progress bar for the search. But this is something for later as it will require some careful software design.
