Search dropdown is hidden

[Kenshino]

So on the initial add plugin page - ​https://cloudup.com/cmxF7nmiL8P

I can do a string search but the dropdown to select 'Tag, Keyword or author' isn't there by default.

After I search, the dropdown appears (this design is also present on W.org)

See ​https://cloudup.com/cjMW0dlY80G

I don't think this works for a good user experience.

• As a user, I wouldn't know what the initial search was based on. Is it keyword? Tag? Or Author? I don't know.
• Essentially to get to a 'tag' search, I would have to fail on the keyword search first

Proposal

• Restore the dropdown to be on the actual 'Add New Plugin' page

Happy to write a patch if need be
