Iago's Unified Search Addon (latest version, 0.6.4)

So, this is _kinda_ like what I was thinking of, but I don't think it's close enough to get a ui-r+.

The main thing I dislike is that it feels _way_ too cluttered.

Four icons in the search box is three and a half too many.

Manually having to switch between filter and global search forces me to make a decision before I feel I should.

The extra bar seems to pop up at odd times.
  I don't feel like I have any control over it.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2301433/Screenshots/SearchBar/GlobalSearch.png shows some extra icons beside the global search.
  What are they for? Is that just a bug?

I realize that there is a conflict here between ux-minimalism and ux-discovery, but I think we need to go further towards the minimalism side of things than this current add-on does.

Thanks,
Blake.
