Updated search suggestion behavior (closes #115)

Arrow key navigation through search suggestions now populates the input
field with text content from the active selection. Navigating "down"
past the end of the suggestions list returns the active cursor to position 0,
while navigating "up" before the list of suggestions restores the
original search query and removes the active highlight from element 0.
