Themes: "Search" is ambiguous and confusing

[nacin]

Here's what you see on the themes page:

Themes (#) [Add New] [Search...]

If you swapped the search input for Add New, you'd think it was a search input for new themes. I think that it's highly likely that even in their current position, that is exactly what a lot of people may do.

We've had this confusion with both plugin and theme search fields (hell, I've done it myself), which is why the labels for the search submit buttons are "Search Installed Themes" and "Search Installed Plugins".

The search is also missing a label (even just screen-reader-text). We had this in 3.7:

<label class="screen-reader-text" for="theme-search-input"><?php _e('Search Installed Themes'); ?>:</label>

Suggestions:

• Add missing label, as above
• Change placeholder to be "Search installed themes..."
• Try to float the search input to the right, as it is on every other screen in the admin

26496.2.diff​ shares the existing string. The 3.7 label had the colon outside the translation.

Some chatter here: ​http://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-dev&day=2013-12-09&sort=asc#m749264. Floating it right would be nice but it messes with the design too much. The label and placeholder are fine. We also don't have a live-search on any other screen (closest to it is internal linking) so the UX is different anyway.

In 26827:

Themes: use explicit 'search installed themes' label and placeholder.

fixes #26496.

What about "Search your themes" instead?
