Suggest combining these three strings:

"Enter your query above to find your files"
"or click the "
" icon for more options."

So the string for translators is something like:
"Enter your query above to find your files\nor click the %s icon for more options."

Just like it appears in the software.

That way its easier to see and translate the string(s) as a whole.

For danish i want it translated to:
"Indtast din forespørgsel ovenfor for at finde dine filer\neller klik på %s-ikonet for flere valgmuligheder."

Buts its hard to get the "%s-ikonet" part correct when the english string starts with space and does not use "-".
