What

Add a search input box to each Explore tab view (Users, Orgs, Repositories) so users can filter results by name/query.

Why

The Explore tab (#351) renders a static list of users/orgs/repos but provides no way to search or filter them. On any reasonably-sized instance the list will be too long to navigate manually.

UX

Search box appears at the top of each explore view
Typing filters the list in real-time (client-side for loaded data)
Enter triggers an API search query (server-side)
Escape clears the search and resets to the full list
A / keybinding focuses the search box (common Vim/less convention)

API mapping

View	Endpoint
Users	`GET /api/v1/users/search?q={query}`
Orgs	`GET /api/v1/orgs?q={query}` or `GET /api/v1/users/search?type=organization`
Repos	`GET /api/v1/repos/search?q={query}`

States

Idle — empty search box, full list shown
Typing — incremental client-side filter
Searching — debounced API call in flight, show spinner
No results — "No results for '{query}'" message
Error — API error with retry prompt

Future

Search history (persisted per session)
Fuzzy matching client-side
