Comment (by celloexpressions):

 The checks are used only to show the current selected item. And for
 search, the icon is not intended to be clickable, but clicking on it does
 focus the search field. Clearing the search field clears the results. I
 expressed concern about this with the presence of the search icon when
 this design was originally proposed; I think @folletto would need to go
 back and look at alternative approaches for the search icon to explore
 after an initial commit, but it can be addressed in 4.7 if there is a
 design solution. Maybe a warning when the search is empty, although it's
 no longer possible to see that unless you clear your search.

 The biggest problem with installation time is the size of the theme. Not
 much we can do there unfortunately, other than encouraging themes to
 strive for simplicity and minimize bundled resources.
