quick search usability fix - feedback on what is being searched, success or failure

      Description

      Please re-assign as you see fit.
      This is to fix usability flaw with the quick search.
      When a user enters a value into the search box (upper left corner) or selects one of the suggestions, the search box needs to show the searched string WHILE the search is going on so that the user will understand that the search is proceeding. They also need confirmation of what option was selected because it is very easy to accidentally select the wrong thing when choosing among the many suggested options.
      Currently what happens is that if the user types something and the search fails, the only feedback received is that some text ("unable to match entry") appears at the very bottom of the window. This is not informative and also is not in a part of the screen where the user's eyes are focused. So it is very easy to miss.
      If the search string is not found, the search string should remain in place and a string "not found" in gray italics (same as Selection Info text "Click the map below to select annotations") should be shown next to it.
      Moreover, if the search succeeds, then the the search box should continue to display the search string with "found" in italics next to the query string.
      The search box should not change back to showing coordinates until the user moves to a new location in the genome or clicks on the map.

          There are many problems with the search function related to how hints are being suggested and the used in search.

          It would also be nice if the advanced search tab would automatically display if there are multiple hits for a search from the quick search box.
