Description

Motivation
AdvancedSearch helps editors who don't know keywords by heart, and/or who are not too familiar with the namespace concept. There are users, who don't need help with both and might prefer the existing, more minimalistic interface.

Task

Add a user preference in the "Search" tab that allows users to disable AdvancedSearch
