Frontend/search: Show strong verif badges

[tristanlabelle]

We forgot to show the strong verification badge in search results, where it's quite useful.

Testing

Since NEXT doesn't have strong verified users, I injected user.hasStrongVerification = true for testing:

Web frontend checklist

• There are no console warnings when running the app
• Added tests where relevant
• Clicked around my changes running locally and it works
• Checked Desktop, Mobile and Tablet screen sizes

For maintainers

• Maintainers can push commits to my branch
• Maintainers can merge this PR for me

@tristanlabelle I think we need to align it with the name vertically so they are centered? The badge seems higher than the text.

btw both Aapeli and I have strong verification badges on next if you query in NYC or London!

The way I have it looks exactly the same as on the profile page (verified by overlapping the screenshots). Does it look off to you on the profile page as well? If so it might be a separate change.

Yeah same on the profile page. It's more obvious in this image where you can see it falls in the top of the box:

@nabramow It looks worse with display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle;. I think it makes sense that the icon sits on the text baseline as it currently does.

font-size: 90% makes it more the size of the text, if you like that better.

But I'd like a ✅ for the fix I'm implemented in all cases.

Such is frontend work, I'm afraid. Would you like me to push the change to your branch? Generally you fix this by wrapping both in a box and centering them.

I would rather we merge this and let you follow up with the visual tweak, but otherwise go ahead.

[nabramow]

Put in some changes to do the style the more proper react way. If you're cool with it go ahead and merge, I tested all the components with changes to check they look okay.
