Make new searches easier #21

Current state: Now for new word search one have to 1) tap the blue "Search" button down right 2) move his finger to top part of the screen 3) first select the old word in the search box on the top and 4) type the new word and hit "Search".

My suggestion: Make search box always visible at the top. If one tap at any place in it (i.e. in the event when the text box receives focus) select all current text. This will make new word searches much easier: 1) click on the edit box at the top (old text will be automatically selected and the and phone keyboard will appear) 2) type the new word.

It looks like very small issue, but with a lot of searches it will improve searching a lot. Also I think it is very easy to implement. If it is not, at least search box text can be automatically selected when search box is shown - this is one line of code IMO. This will save one finger move from the bottom to the top part of the screen and this way will make searches easier.

Beside this QDict is very useful dictionary and perfect for my needs, thank you for creating it and for open sourcing it!
