I suppose we could also make use of the numbers in "#X obj 20
10", as term with
associated lower number coordinates are closer to the top left corner and
are more
prominent.
That makes a lot of sense to me. It would be great to include as much of the meta data as possible, like whether this term is an object name, object arguments, or maybe also whether its in a comment or message box.
This gives us the possibility to make the searching much more aware of Pd.
Should be easy to do. I haven't actually tested out Xapian yet-- hopefully the helpful documentation is a reflection of the quality of the actual software.
