site changes

• completely new search feature, present at top of sidebar or page
  • runs completely in-browser, so queries never leave your device and are typically instantaneous after an initial automatic, couple-megabyte download
  • currently only matches exact words (no "stemming" yet), like putting quotation marks around every word in other search engines
  • search results include albums, tracks, artists, groups, flashes, and art tags
  • most queries require entering at least one word from the name of what you're looking for, with additional words filtering by artist, album, group, or art tags
  • keywords like "track", "album", "artist" etc filter final results to the specified kind
  • search results remain visible while navigating pages, disappear when dismissed; an active search generally collapses and deemphasizes other boxes in the sidebar though they can still be used like normal
• chronology links (in track nav bar) now show "across this wiki", switches to "within this album" when clicked; always display even if an artist only has one contribution (across the wiki or album)
• group links now show below track nav bar, not just album nav bar, when browser is narrow; just shows group name, no previous/next
• dates in commentary entry headings are now aligned with the right edge (old, new)
• "View additional files" line no longer lists entry names (old, new); section heading no longer shows number of files (old, new)
• various improvements for sticky subheading, to help identify where you're scrolled to on a page: track subheadings don't double the track name; "tracks that reference/sample this one" headings show the group name; albums' track section headings show just the name, not duration; album commentary page shows "(album commentary)" for comemntary section of album itself
• many, many internal improvements, as usual aiding data work and code debugging, serving as groundworks for upcoming features, cleaning up crustier code, and so on
