1 the results aren't clickable 2 you can't enter multiple non-contiguous terms 3 no control over AND vs. OR (or is there?) 4 doesn't differentiate between tutorial/example patches and object-help patches (what if I just want to find the object named 'gate'?) 5 most of the results don't fit into the window size 6 full text search makes it impossible to get useful results for 'float', array', 'list', etc. 7 can't search by inlet, object function, author, etc. (PDDP META tags) 8 non-friendly user interface 9 it doesn't seem to be searching the manual
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.
