That's great, looking forward to it. I'm really happy to see you
taking this and running with it, let me know if there are any
blockers. Seems to me that its ready to be posted on the GUI plugins
category of the download page:

I'm making some more changes, like removing the checkboxes and using a
combobox for the genres. Also using a combobox to enter search terms
which has the benefit of a more user friendly drop-down menu for
a search history (plus less code).
Also, I changed the search function so you can type:
foo bar
and it will match if both foo and bar appear in the document
(regardless
of order).

Wow, that's really nice! The dynamic updating with the
checkboxes is
impressive. More features and better
formatting. My only complaint
is the "No DESCRIPTION tag." message, I say it'd be better
just blank.
There is also a weird thing where I can't grab the
scrollbar and move
it, only scroll with the mousewheel. This is using
Pd-extended 0.43
from 02-02 on Mac OS X 10.5/Intel.

1 the results aren't clickable
Which platform? They are for me on
Ubuntu/maverick,
Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6.
2 you can't enter multiple non-contiguous
terms
Its a regexp really, so it doesn't really do
keyword
searches. Ideally, this would use a search
engine like
xapian, then it could do keyword searches. I
just
added code to replace spaces in the searchtext
with the
regexp code ".*" so that it'll search
non-contiguous words,
but the first word will always be before the
second in
search results.
3 no control over AND vs. OR (or is there?)
regexp
4 doesn't differentiate between
tutorial/example
patches and object-help
patches (what if I just want to find the
object named
'gate'?)
Hmm, that wouldn't be too hard to do, I guess it
would be a
pull down menu of: object, message, comment,
array, any.
5 most of the results don't fit into the
window size
The window should be resizable.
6 full text search makes it impossible to get
useful
results for 'float',
array', 'list', etc.
That sounds like fully typed searching, which
would be very
nice, but much harder to do. My goal right
now is to
get a basic search function working.
Hopefully my code
is clear enough that others will make their own
custom
search plugins. I could see simple search,
regexp,
search engine, etc.
7 can't search by inlet, object function,
author, etc.
(PDDP META tags)
Why not? This works for me: author.*steiner
8 non-friendly user interface
I spruced it up a bit with this latest version.
9 it doesn't seem to be searching the manual
Ah, I'll add .html to the file types it searches.
.hc
I've already got a pd patch that is well on
its way to
curing 1-8 (posted
screenshots awhile back), but it requires
toxy, which
seems to have been
removed from pd-ext, and there is currently
no
(non-buggy) tk 'entry'
object in existence.

Hey all,
At the strong urging of Sofy Yuditskaya, I
finally
wrote up
a quick
interface for searching the Pd docs using
a
keyword or a
regexp. Its in
the form of an 0.43 plugin, so you can
just drop
it into
your
user-folder and you should get a "Search"
item on
the Help
menu.
Test it out and let me know how it works
for you.
