Make search first class

Description
My primary usage (and I suspect many others’) of Gucharmap is to look up characters using the search capabilities.
But despite the fact that I use this feature extremely regularly, half of the time I start typing my search item in the "copy" field (confusing it with a search bar).
Also, searching using back/forward across screens is not nearly as useful as if you were presented with a list of matching characters (much as what the on-line UniView tool does: http://rishida.net/scripts/uniview/ )
I would suggest including a search box in the user interface, and make search returns a customized list of characters.
