  This was the rationale behind my bug report about this; that some users might 
be puzzled about the apparent lack of a search field.

  +1 for this, if it is doable. Perhaps the search field could be toggled only 
for new installs, so upgraders can stick to the status quo?

  The patch seems to retain this functionality. Maybe the patch could keep the 
text 'Type to search…', or does it become redundant?

  I feel that Windows' font rendering produces significantly sharper fonts than 
anything else. FWIW I think it's both their choice of font (Segoe UI) and their 
ClearType technology that makes text in Windows easy to read even at 9pt. 
Increasing Noto Sans' size doesn't make it sharper in my eyes; perhaps AA and 
general font rendering is worth looking at.
