Yes, add to a toolbar or menu, but not to the search bar.
I really I like its placement in gridview, left of the VL button looks like its rightful home.
That's another one you snuck by me

-
T&M->The buttons on the search bar
If I add it there, I get it twice on Grid View, viz:
Maybe the one on the left can be removed.
FWIW: I'd prefer to have the added items appear to the left of the search box.
And can the restriction that mandates Preferences must be in the Main Tool bar or Menu be made optional (tweak) - I know the search bar can be hidden . . . but . . .
