Comment:

 During the Cathedral sprint we have decided to pick this and keep working
 on improving the search results page.
 Some main points that have to be done:

  * merge "search results" and "advanced search form" into one template in
 order to let people to tweak their search terms without going back and
 forth. Switching the context just to tweak a search term is bad idea from
 UI point of view.

  * when embedded into the search results, fields of "advanced search form"
 (further "filter") should behave more like a search filter: ajax calls for
 immediate update of the results, show/hide the fields in order to provide
 the quick access to the fields

  * hiding/showing of the filter's fields should happen with jquery, but
 the solution should be still accessible for those without JS enabled in
 the browsers

  * one non-trivial addition could be the breadcrumbs-like bar that would
 show current search terms used like google.com shows search options.

  * when search terms are visible in a bar there should be a quick access
 to this particular field in the filter without need of showing the whole
 form. Form should be shown only in case the new search term (not still in
 the terms bar) has to be added.

 Screenshot of a prototype and updates are coming.
