Hi , here is a webrev to move PM over to using the Search API for
all searches, both against single publishers (previously used
GtkTreeView filtering) and all publishers (added in 2009.06, already
using Search API).

9442 Use Search API in PM for all searches
This will cause a slow down when searching against Single
Publishers. The timings for a search are listed in the Status Bar if
it takes longer than 1 sec. If a repo cannot be contacted there is a
time out of 30 secs, which is caught and reported as a failed search
against the repo. When we have better exceptions here from the
transport layer [9670] we can do a better job of handling the range
of errors.
The only comment I have is that I think the package list needs to be
cleared in this scenario before search starts:
* user launches packagemanager
* clicks search box and enters text
* presses enter key starting search
* packagemanager switches to package listing already showing packages
^^^^ This is the part that is somewhat confusing because it might
mislead you into believing the search had finished already.
* packagemanager then clears listing and shows actual results
