Improve the search drop-down menu

dtdesign commented 3 years ago

The search drop-down is largely unmodified since the early days and does not take advantage of newer features.

[ ] Show tips on how to use the search, such as basic operators (+, - and "…").
[ ] Easier selection of the search scope.
[ ] Direct link to the extended search form.
[ ] Suggest keywords that match the current text input.
[ ] Show live results for the current search query. (Possibly requires Elasticsearch due to the performance impact?)
[ ] The behavior for selecting keywords from the list is quirky.

The centered menu on the screen in the form of a popup window looks good.

Examples:

The search bar seems to look the worst compared to the rest; I suggest a complete redesign. A good option would be a popup window with a background blur effect, or simply a sliding design, as seen on Facebook, for example.
