Update window title to reflect query #465

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Most applications change the window title to match the user's current context: the file they have open e.g. LibreOffice, the folder they are in e.g. Nemo/Nautilus, or the webpage they are on e.g. Firefox.

It helps when the user has multiple windows open of the same app and either Alt-tabbing between them or using Expo. It also helps if the user has their window panel set up in the more traditional of way displaying the text next to the application icon: image This is especially true of fsearch because the preview thumbnails in say Expo are relatively indistinct because fsearch always displays lists, as opposed to say a browser where the design of the website makes it fairly easy to recognise the correct window just by the thumbnail alone.

Describe the solution you'd like It'd be great if fsearch would behave the same way and display the query in the title. (It's a really minor niggle but a relatively constant one) Thanks!

Thx, that's a good idea. This is also very easy to implement and not much work at all, so I'll add it in the upcoming release.
