For the Pd-extended 0.43 release, I want to keep the old help browser on the Help menu. Then later, I think it can be removed. Makes for an easier transition, IMHO.
As for removing menu items, there is a menu command that can do that.

Don't use this one yet, because I have some more changes to make based on the following question:
- How do I remove the old helpbrowser entry from the
"Help" menu from inside my plugin?
That way the new helpbrowser will show up for new users, along with an accelerator <ctrl-g>, without disturbing old grumps and their <ctrl-b> browser.

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/

I already did substantial work on the drop-in replacement for the helpbrowser based on the feedback I got. I had no idea the gui-plugin infrastructure was ready to ship actual plugins running by default in pd-extended.

Hey Jonathan,
I committed your latest search-plugin.tcl into scripts/guiplugins/search-plugin, overwriting my original, simple one.
I put
it there because I'm adding it to Pd-extended. I think it makes
sense to
just include your plugin directly rather than as a remixed helpbrowser.tcl.
I also
just committed a check that makes sure that pd-gui doesn't try to
load a
plugin that has already been loaded. That way when you make new version
of the
search plugin, people can just drop it into ~/pd-externals and
it'll
override the built-in search-plugin.tcl.
As for scripts/guiplugins/search-plugin, feel free to take that over
and do
whatever you want with it. I can't see a reason to keep the old
one around
any more, your search plugin is very thorough.
