Show channels as buttons (like before) and not in dropdown

[davidak]

I don't like hiding information behind a drop down.

Can we have a channel list like ubuntu, like i suggested here?

I didn't end up mentioning it in the review as I refrained from unnecessary bike shedding, but I agree.

Here's another implementation example:

Drop downs, in addition to being hard to wrangle styling-wise, is a poor UX for limited size lists (1-10) and for large lists (50-∞). (For different reasons).

👍 I'm going to change it to what it was before, since I plan to only index 3 channels at all times. And I want to reach current goal (the same functionality as existing search) as soon as possible.

But I think we need add much more search options and before doing any change I would like to collect ideas which options we need to fit next to search input. For this I opened a separate issue (#95) and lets discuss the different search options there.

I'm going to hijack this ticket and turn it into a proposal that search input looks like in current packages/options search.
