Hm, that is as was designed by our UI expert olangr, passing to him. The separator has been added after consulting the visual designer to align with the border between the left and right result areas (see http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/quicksearch/storyboards/choosing_categories_abbreviation.gif). It is absolutely useless now, after we decided to make results wider than the search field itself. Should probably be removed, we'll see if we'll make it for 6.5 ... I played with this a little bit. Just removing the separator was not an option, since it is not clear then that the two areas within QuickSearch actually work differently (one for "where" and the other for "what" to look for). Attaching a fixed appearance. Also, as a part of this issue, please move the text one pixel down, it is part of what causes the confusion (the cursor is too much up).
