Ack, FWIW.

By the way, I wonder if we should make search context (view) sensitive. For example for 'history' view search would be limited to given pathspec, grep search in a 'tree' view would search given tree only.

Additionally it would be nice to have links from search results page to have search match highlighted, like search results on GitWiki.
