Occluded post_types filter list in search
When searching using the "post_type" filter, a list of available post types automatically appears. If the user has previously entered search terms that overlap with what has been typed so far, these are also automatically displayed. When both these automatic lists appear at the same time, the previous searches list occludes the post type list.

If the lists have to overlap, I would expect it to be more useful for the post types to be displayed in front of the previous searches, rather than the other way around as it is currently.

*Irrelevant note: None of the previous search terms shown work (they either don't give results, or they include answers - post type 2. These were just my failed attempts to find a way to show all non-answer posts - don't try to use them.*
