Search should be split into a separate, LoadOnDemand, addon with several enhancements over the current search:

I tend to use the search tab for finding mobs that drop mats such as a specific kind of cloth. Right now, I search for the cloth and see a list of mobs that drop it. But I have to enable the tooltip display of mobs that drop it, then mouse over each one to check number of drops and percentage of drops to find the best mobs to kill. It would be more useful to have it show a total drops and percentage drops in that same search window next to each mob (and possibly allow sorting by each of those). Besides having to take time and browse all mobs that drop the item, I don't leave the mob display enabled in the tooltips because it takes too much space with items that drop from lots of mobs, so I currently have to enable it when searching, then disable it again. Kind of a pain. It would also be nice to have a way to display the actual items so you can browse through them if you don't remember the name of a specific item. It could be sorted alphabetically and then if it's possible, it can break down to types of items (armor/weapons, cloth/leather, ore/herbs, etc), though that may not be possible. Or, if nothing else, if could have a sort option based on item value.
