#35815: Search for new plugins from the 'Installed Plugins' screen

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.
