The above was decided in discussions with Gary. We just tested both on 
the XO. A further enhancement would be to do the same in the Journal, 
string is "Search in Journal".

Another enhancement is that hitting "enter" in the entry would unfocus 
it as well, the search entered would remain in effect.
