+Added wx.SearchCtrl, which is a composite of a wx.TextCtrl with optional
+bitmap buttons and a drop-down menu.  Controls like this can typically
+be found on a toolbar of applications that support some form of search

+is used, although that may change in the future as more platforms
+introduce native search widgets.
