This patch (on top of #1828) introduce an interactive way to search directly from a buffer.

from the Merlin protocol, search introduces a new entry in the resultset : constructible which is a string that represent the function filled with holes (so it can be used in every other client)
A reimplementation of merlin-search that ask for a query if nothing is selected but can use the region as a query and replace the region with the function and holes. Demonstration below

(After a small chat with @voodoos, the UI seems a little bit controversial so I close it and improve the previous one!)
