Xapian would be for searching all of the included documentation so you
can use keywords to find objects that you need, and things like that.

Hi Hans,
I'm a little unclear, would this replace the "find" function on the
"find" menu? If so, that would be wonderful; the current "find" has
a serious drawback in that it can't find partial object names,
neither can it find names containing "$0"; these two attributes
combine to make it impossible to track down objects named similarly
to '$0-foo'. I understand the issue with $0, being that it is
replaced with a generated number, but partial-string search would be
a fantastic improvement.Phil

Hey,
I've been thinking for a while that Pd really needs a good built-in
search function. I just found this Xapian search library that has
good Tcl bindings, anyone ever used it?I suppose it could also be implemented in C in 'pd' rather than in
Tcl in 'pd-gui'. It seems like a pd-gui thing tho..hc
