Bug Description
pcbnew / Choose Footprint / Search by Keyword
Currently, if the search fails, a Warning alert pops up "No footprint found" + OK button. After this warning is dismissed, you must reselect the Choose Footprint in the toolbar for another search.
Wish : In the Warning alert, offer the possibility to the user to do another search by reopening the previous dialog. So, maybe two buttons : "OK" and "New search" ?

While this is annoying, I think the correct fix is to implement a filtered-tree dialog like we have for Place Symbol in EEschema.
