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.
