Hi Jonathan,

As Thomas McGrath III <3mcgrath at adelphia.net> has already mentioned, 
"Drop the stack into the same folder as your Rev engine. It will work 
then.... ".

And the new version - available during the next days - can be placed 
either into the main Revolution or Metacard folder (where the engine is) 
or into the "plugins" folder of Rev or the MC IDE; "SearchDocs XML 2" 
will detect where it has been placed and set the directory paths for the 
search accordingly.-

Another change is a simplified search input and the extra option to 
search all of the XML files of the "Dictionary", "Faq", and "Topics" in 
one run. Searching these combined 1992 files will slightly increase the 
average search time to about 160 milliseconds  (WindowsXP, 2 GHz), which 
should be still very much tolerable.

There is a new screenshot at

Regards,

Wilhelm
