Description

With the addition of events in #183, there is now a mechanism for sending direct feedback about irrelevant or missing search results from the plugin. We should create a feedback widget that allows users to report such feedback during a search session. It could be really simple, but something that allows feedback to be directly surfaced would be super helpful in triaging and improving the search engine.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the events mechanism described in issue #183 and the plugin's search-session UI. Define the widget's placement and interaction from the existing control flow; done means users can report irrelevant or missing search results and that the feedback is surfaced for triage.
