Oh, ok, I read your original post as "just getting filenames" was the point, 
not changing the search expression form.

If you want to provide an _alternative_ FIF search mechanism I would definitely 
say it should go in a plugin first, you can use the existing message window if 
you want, `msgwin_msg_add()` is in the plugin interface.  I don't think there 
is any reason it needs to be in core Geany and that way you can add and test 
all the features incrementally in your own time.

Plugins can add to the main menus, but its not encouraged since if two plugins 
try for the same menu there is nothing to mediate who gets which position and a 
mess can ensue.  Same problem exists for plugins defining default keybindings.  
Better to stick to tools menu for now.

Plugins that are found to be universally useful can be promoted to core plugins 
and distributed with Geany itself, like save-actions, splitwindow etc are.

On #54 they (and this applies to all other PR proposers) should ping it if they 
were expecting answers and didn't get them in a "reasonable" time, Geany 
contributors are all doing it in their own time, and they are only human and 
can miss things, go on holidays, be sidetracked or forgetful ... what were we 
talking about? :smile:
