New feature: Customizable sidebar

The basic concept behind Nibbo is to offer a hybrid between a search engine and a customized home page; today we've advanced one more step towards this vision, by adding the possibility to customize the sidebar.

Each section can be minimized or expanded; when it's minimized, it will show the number of available items in it, and show a tooltip with them when hovering it. Also, they can be relocated by drag and drop.

Click on the little square with an arrow to show the available actions; the options, refinements and related searches sections also have an additional actions: Edit; in the case of the options section it allows to edit the current engine attributes (name, icon and number of previews when shown as a preview); in the other two, it offers the possibility to define the number of items to show.

The sections can also be removed; in that case, an "Add" button will appear at the bottom of the sidebar, and clicking there will provide the list of available sections.

We've also tweaked the preview boxes; the toggle icon is now part of the favicon, and will appear when hoveing the preview header; also, the name of the engine in the header is now a link to the main results page, and the rest of the header is used for drag & drop.

We hope you like the changes; feel free to provide us with feedback!
