[IncrementalSearch] [Patch] fix search history crowding (#740)

[Huki]

Hi,

I'm submitting a patch for a fix / improvement in the IncrementalSearch plugin. The plugin records every keystroke in history, which means typing "TERM" leaves the following entries in search history:

Code

TERM
TER
TE
T

We now try to be a bit smarter by only adding the term to history upon:
- leaving focus from the text control
- using prev / next / clear buttons or shortcut keys

Patch is available here.

Any user of incremental search willing to test this and post if it is improvement?

@Huki: If you want your patch to not be forgotten it is better to post it on sf.net as a ticket.
