Switch to using redux about search HOT 1 CLOSED

OK, I looked into this and redux is very much coming from a Javascript approach and it seems overly complicated in its design. I've come up with something that for sure uses the flux approach to things. I think there are idiomatic options in TypeScript that I prefer over what is there in Javascript. In particular, I want the ability to preserve type checking.

Anyway, I've implemented something where the use of setState never appears at the level. Instead, components are given a special observer instance that they can use to link their own internal state to the global state and that link takes care of making the setState calls for them.

I'll probably refine it more later as I get a feel for React and flux. But I'm pretty happy with what I have.

All this and a bunch more were committed in 91e0846.
