Comment (by McGuive7):

 I really like this concept! So I built a plugin to demo the functionality:
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-search-filter/

 It uses the lightweight jQuery livFilter plugin, with very minimal PHP and
 one CSS rule. Thoughts? It'd be super easy to implement this in core,
 however I'm not sure it meets the 80% rule, and as @ocean90 mentions, it
 might make sense to just Backbonify the widgets UI entirely.

 Either way, at least you can use this plugin until another solution is
 implemented more centrally.
