Create a batch change from the search result page

Created by: sourcegraph-bot

Context

We want to make all of our features more discoverable. This can start with improving navigation, before going to deeper end-to-end user flows. Integrating in search is a quick win.

Success criteria

  • monthly clicks / Monthly batch changes visitors = 5%

Proposal

Add a way to create a batch change from a search query:

  • open up batch change from the search result page
  • automatically fill-in the spec with the search query
  • if SSBC is not enabled, open up the src-cli modal
  • pings are out of scope

Delivery plan

  • [design] Design button to fit withing search's interface (are there too many buttons)?
  • [design] UX study when [server-side execution on, server-side execution off, user doesn't have the batch change add-on]

Out of scope:
