Change styling of search HUD

[smblott-github]

Is there any support for restyling the search HUD?

To me, it's too small and not sufficiently striking. Not to be too disparaging, but the words "weak" and "feeble" come to mind.

Might it not be better to use the same styling as the vomnibar?

Suggestions:

• Make the border bigger and bolder (same as vomnibar).
• Either use the same font (including size) as the vomnibar, or make the font bold.
• The No Matches message should be right aligned (and not bold) to visually distinguish it from the search text.

Separately, the HUD currently appears some distance from the right of the page. I understand why this is (it avoids clashes with other popups) but, still, it looks wierd.

Agreed, it needs an overhaul. Let's do this as part of converting it into a
textbox. I'll file a bug for that soon.

Hey, @mrmr1993, do you have any interest in taking a look at this? It would be great to have a consistent and modern look for all of vimium's UI elements.

_{Excluding the options page, for now -- but we should look at that too, soon.}

I don't have any major inspiration for a design change to the HUD. I'm happy to have a go at the code to try and make it an input though.

Before I start, is it going to upset anyone if I put it in an iframe (to avoid hell with selections etc.)?

put it in an iframe

Sounds good to me.
