SUGGESTION: Simplify the Search UI by "removing" irrelevant options

The new UI for the search simply transferred forward some misleading elements:

  1. Match case should be grayed out unless there is a text term in the search argument for it to apply to.
  2. Ditto for Match all forms
  3. Reference matching should be grayed out if there is no datatype or keyword in the search argument to which reference matching applies.
  4. A warning message should be produced when a search field filter has been requested but cannot be applied to all terms in the search argument.

For many of my searches, 3 or 4 of the elements show in the UI as a "required" element but are, in fact, simply interface noise with no effect on my results.
