Same window, called from a different place.

There's a fix already committed and it's on a glade file so Rich can try to fix it himself:

 Edit /usr/share/gnucash/gtkbuilder/dialog-search.glade and change the value in line 305 (the expand property) to True. When you're done it will look like:

              <packing>
                <property name="expand">True</property>
                <property name="fill">True</property>
                <property name="position">1</property>
              </packing>
