Cool that we have the capability, but I still prefer my way of searching
better. My way does all the work ahead of time.

I really like this plugin although it takes about 2 minutes to search my 60
gigabyte drive.

some ideas:

-- database, database, database. make a utility that creates
a database of your player on the computer that you can then just drop
into /.rockbox/rocks/db/ (it could scan ID3 tags and filenams)

-- an option to rename the search results, or just use the default

-- maybe list the songs as they are found? (more verbose deiplay)

this is a keeper for me!

RW> Hi all.

RW> I've made a plugin for simple recursive filesearching.
RW> If interrested you can grab it at:
RW> http://www.mara-sign.dk/rune/search-rock.zip

RW> The zip containes a compiled version for the Recorder + sourcecode.

RW> The searches are case-insensitive and the results are placed in
playlists
RW> called /SEARCH-xxx.m3u (where xxx is the respective search word).

RW> Performance could be greately improved by eg. using a DB.
RW> But a slow algorimth is better than nothing. :-)

RW> Feedback are welcome
RW> / Rune
