That sounds like fully typed searching, which would be very nice, but much harder to do. My goal right now is to get a basic search function working. Hopefully my code is clear enough that others will make their own custom search plugins. I could see simple search, regexp, search engine, etc.

I've already got a pd patch that is well on its way to

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.

Wow, that's really nice! The dynamic updating with the checkboxes is
impressive. More features and better formatting. My only complaint
is the "No DESCRIPTION tag." message, I say it'd be better just blank.
There is also a weird thing where I can't grab the scrollbar and move
it, only scroll with the mousewheel. This is using Pd-extended 0.43
from 02-02 on Mac OS X 10.5/Intel.

I'm making some more changes, like removing the checkboxes and using a combobox for the genres. Also using a combobox to enter search terms which has the benefit of a more user friendly drop-down menu for a search history (plus less code).
Also, I changed the search function so you can type: foo bar
and it will match if both foo and bar appear in the document (regardless of order).

Hi Hans, I think your find_doc_files proc is doing double duty-- for example, if cyclone/gate-help.pd matches the search terms, I get two results for it:
- basedir is [path_to_pd]/extra/cyclone and filename is gate-help.pd
- basedir is [path_to_pd]/extra/ and filename is cyclone/gate-help.pd
Also, adding "-class DialogWindow" to the search window did the trick for the tiny fonts on winxp, except that ttk::combobox still has a tiny textarea (i.e., the dropdown menu).
Any idea on either of these?
