Thanks, Jonathan ! Seems, you did a giant work.
I'll try to set it up on my machine . best ! serg Mon, 3 Sep 2012 20:08:16 -0700 (PDT) от Jonathan Wilkes <[email protected]>: > > > > >Hello serg, > I made an attempt to build a search engine awhile back: >http://puredata.info/Members/jancsika/searchandbrowseplugin/view?searchterm=search%20plugin > > > This plugin is designed to be exactly what you are looking for-- I know because I had the same problems > when starting out with Pd and read similarly dreadful responses. > > > It is a GUI plugin.
