[squeak-dev] search bar problems

The search bar has developed a couple of issues that has rendered it a
lot less useful than before:
- It now only supports input instead both input and output. e.g., it
no longer expands when its capacity is exceeded, so not only can I not
see the expression I'm typing, I can't see any reasonable output in
there because its stuck to be so tiny.
- When I press Control+0, my prior contents are deleted! This is a
real pain because I use a quick gesture to retop the window I last
accessed (which since got buried by other windows) by simply pressing
Command+0+b (for example). Now since my contents are erased I cannot
do that unless I remember and retype it what I had before..
I see SearchBar>>#activate:in: says "we cannot select all here".
Really? All the power of ToolBuilder and MVC cannot do that? This is
frustrating because as a user I don't care if the code is "cleaner" if
it causes usability to suffer this much.
I really just want a plain ol'e TextMorph up there. I never found the
search functionality useful because it never opens the kind of browser
I want..
