When searching for config symbols, the search results popup
will now display a count of the results in the title bar,
e.g. "Search Results (42)". This helps the user to gauge the
number of matches quickly and refine their search if necessary,
instead of having to scroll down by an indefinite amount (especially
for nconfig's UI).
