Do this after typing the search term and selecting a result: click on the
drawer button, and the previously gray-colored result reverts to the color
selected in the Appearance PrefPane. Click on the drawer button, previous
selections are still available, select another result, click on the drawer
button, and get the result in the Appearance selected color.
