Plugin API: renamed execute to search?

A bit going back on my words (#11) but it may make more sense to renamed execute to search.

This would allow us to use execute in the future for executing a specific item.

Example would be something like this:

module.exports = {
  search: q => {
    items: [], // list of ietms
  },
  execute: item => {
    // executes for the selected item...
  },
};

This will be a breaking change but since it’s still early, we should migrate and just alias/deprecate execute.

I think migrating execute to a targeted item is a good idea and I’m all for this! 👍

However, I don’t agree that search is the right term here because I don’t see <kbd>dext</kbd> only to be used for search purposes to different source, although that’s what we do today and so far a is a good first step.

I would prefer query, because then it is ambiguous, generic and every plugin can interpret how they want to react to a query.
