For Pd-extended, I'd much rather keep it as a plugin than make it an internal file. I think it will be much easier for you to work on the search plugin if it stays as a plugin. If its a plugin that's included in Pd-extended, it can be upgraded by the user by just dropping a new version into ~/pd-externals. The dev process will be easier too, since updates won't have to go thru the patch tracker to be accepted into pd-extended.git.
For Vanilla, you'll have to ask Miller. I think this same approach could work for vanilla too with the same advantages. All that Miller would need to do to include it is check in the search-plugin into pd/extra/ .hc On 11/15/2012 01:45 AM, Jonathan Wilkes wrote: > I already did substantial work on the drop-in replacement for the > helpbrowser based on the feedback I got.
