Summary0006449: Add search to mission and download list screens
DescriptionNow that we have over 100 missions and growing, the FM list has become a mess. The issue occurs in two places:
* The mission downloader (the list of missions available online for download)
* The mission selector (the list of downloaded and immediately playable missions)

Proposal:
* Add search functionality to both, which matches by mission title or author. Consult functionality in Thief 1, 2, and 3.

@Bikerdude: Would you mind if I rephrased this issue to focus solely on the missing search functionality? The sorting (2) is mentioned as part of 0006339.

Committed code rev 10887.
Fixed search missions by author.

Issue: Authors was split by "and", among other terms. However, that
caused authors with "and" (no spaces) within their name to split.
For example, "Frost_Salamander" split into "Frost_Salam" and "er".

Fix: Split by " and ".

I tested 2.13/64 #10890, here are some thoughts:
1) The issue with "and" in usernames seems to be fixed as described. I also searched for & but could not find any noticeable unexpected behavior.
2) searching for "frost salamander" renders no match, since the user is listed as "frost_salamander" (I have no suggestion, it's just an observation)
3) When clicking in the box "Search title/author", the cursor is almost undetectable and at first I mistook the box for a disabled button because of the dim text and since the label was inside the box rather than beside it (like the "Enter Name:" when saving a mission) and because nothing seemed to happen when I clicked it. The box "Enter Name:" when saving also has a cursor that is hardly noticeable. If the cursor was made darker and bolder and perhaps even remove the text "Search title/author" after the click rather than after the user starts typing, I think that would prevent this confusion.
4) The only way to clear the filter is to click in the box and remove the text. Adding a button "X" to the right of the box which clears the filter (and restores the text "Search title/author") would improve usability.

Overall the filter is an improvement. It works and fulfills its primary function and with only some minor deficiencies in usability.
