 When users click 'Plugins' in wp-admin, they are presented with a list of
 installed plugins and a search box labeled 'Search Installed Plugins'.
 How about changing that to 'Search for Plugins' and having it do the
 search on the 'Add New' screen (which returns installed plugins plus new
 plugins to install)?

 I have a hunch users are confused by the existing search box, rarely use
 it, and really want to search for a new plugin to install. I have a patch
 worked up - this is a simple change - I'd love to see some user testing to
 validate the idea.
