improve search functionality #1

The search functionality of elogv is not very useful and unintuitive.

Once a string is entered in the search prompt, it cannot be altered, backspace doesn't work.

I had to read the manpage to find out that I have to pres ESC to get rid of the search prompt and after pressing ESC I have to wait a second or two to be able to proceed.

Searching for patterns that can match many packages (e.g. searching for emacs turn up all app-emacs/ packages) and I have to do the whole process of searching to go through them all. Including the wait when pressing ESC

Also, I just noticed that when trying to workaround these limitations by entering the full package name (e.g. app-editors/emacs) I cannot type the character "-"
