Give Search UI its own panel #4

I dislike how the queue and the video search share a panel in the UI. I think it would make adding a lot of videos at once easier. Currently you need to click the search button, add a video, repeat. Instead I think it makes more sense to just have a search area where you can search and select videos.

This is not high priority for now, but I'll definitely address this eventually.

What I'm thinking right now is keeping the UI as-is by default, but when the search input box is showing, I'll add a "pop out" button just to the right of it. When clicked, the search UI will persistently pop out and dock itself in the middle of the page (between the left and right columns), but in the bottom half of that space. The activity feed, which will eventually take up the whole area in the middle, will then just take up the top half.

And then the search UI is docked in the bottom-center of the page, the search results will display in a flowing grid layout instead of a list, and when you add a result, the search input box will be put back in focus but not cleared.
