Better that than nothing.

Just a confirmation: when user does not set any option, it will return 
all certificates? Or it will return nothing?

I see Web UI implementation this way:
  1) implement simple search with the hack now
  2) if there will be time before release (after the refactoring and 
other tickets) implement #191 (will require UXD input) to implement this 
the proper way. We can move #191 to triage to decide it.
