2. I like the new Layout button but would it look better with +/- or a check mark for Show instead of Show/Hide
For an experienced user, sure. For a new user, how is she to know what the checkbox means?

3. Move Searching in the Preferences to the Look & feel in the Preferences as a tab
Why? There is quite enough in L&F already

4. calibre X.XX created by Kovid Goyal could be a button also and link to the homepage
I dont think this is a good idea, that text changes depending on lots of things, for instance connecting a device.

5. Add option to clear list of recent searches when right clicking the gear icon in the search bar

6. Add option to go to the search settings when right clicking the gear icon in the search bar
Right clicks are not possible for in-field buttons in Qt

7. Add a Sort by button next to the search box
You can sort by clicking column headers, so what's the point of duplicating this functionality?
