Yes, it made it through.

If there's nothing in the search field, I think it would be best if there was 
something like "empty" or "no search key" or the like under the database name.

I don't know how serious a violation of the groups pane interface principles 
this is, but I have always wanted to be able to remove the search group by 
pushing "delete" or with a little "x" in a circle in the search group's name 
field.
