This should be relatively simple compared to full UploadWizard integration, and especially useful as new images may not appear in the API search results due to caching.

We can just show recent uploads when no search term is entered.
Currently we show the name of the article. Lots of users have mentioned that this is helpful (albeit limited utility for non-English users until we implement Wikidata-based item searching instead of string searching). Walking away from this benefit from the somewhat-dubious benefit of your own uploads (most users don't upload, and we'd have no way to check for your "own" uploads on foreign repos) feels like a regression.
Yes there will be edge cases where the username on commons is different, but that is an edge case. We can fill in the first row with recent uploads if found (which solves the case of "most users don't upload") and then fill with page title.
Re: search caching, 'File:Three_sided_football_pitch.svg' is still not showing up in search results, an hour after uploading.
