Subject: search: land the cursor on the match's starting column

_goto_line now sets cursor_x to the first match range's start on the target line
(and _hscroll's it into view for the pseudocode view), so jumping to a search hit
positions the cursor exactly on the match, not the old column. Search cancel/empty
also restore the origin column. pilot suite 47/47.
