[TYPO3-core] FYI: added backend search to backend.php, some issues remain, please help!

[Oliver Hader]

Hi Ingo,

thanks for your work on this!

Just a side note for those of you trying to test this issue:
You have to use "/typo3/backend.php" instead of "/typo3/alt_main.php" on
your TYPO3 installation in your favourite browser.
