The SearchBar is now a separate stetic widget, so it can be used elsewhere.

I am not quite sure how to do this. The
MonoDevelop.SourceEditor.Gui.SourceEditorDisplayBinding class is used
as a DisplayBinding for text files. How do I make several instances
share the same SearchBar?

I could add a static field on the SourceEditorDisplayBinding class but
that seems a bit ugly.

Any good ideas?
