Hi,

thank you for your help!

Since the searchdialog was tabbed before sizing doesn't work as expected atm.
Don't care about the sizing.
Lee volunteered to remake the layout using QDesigner.

I think here applies the same. The search dialog is in transition at the 
moment. Don't care about the sizing stuff.

That's nice!

Please submit a diff file if you're ready. That way we can integrate it when 
the search dialog is ready.

I'm not sure atm if DOM would help here. But don't care atm.
I'm fine with a first version patch because we'll probably need some slight 
changes after the search dialog is ready.

Thank you very much for your help,
