The new version may be downloaded - for the time being - still from 
<http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia/Screenshots.htm>.

Of the requested changes have been implemented:

- New "copy" feature: Text can be selected in the fields on the right 
and left using the mouse. Then apply the usual copy-and-paste procedures 
from the Menubar or through keyboard shortcuts, e.g. CTRL-C and CTRL-V 
on Windows. To implement this I had to make sure that the fields scripts 
comply with the selection and retain their functionality at the same time.

- "SearchDocs XML 2.1" can be placed either in the main Revolution or 
Metacard folder (where the engine is) or in the "plugins" folder of Rev 
or the MC IDE; The stack will detect where it has been placed and set 
the directory paths for the search accordingly.-

- Simplified searchstring 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).

- A "readme" field has been added.

Rev 2.5.1 or Metacard 2.6.2 (together with IDE version 2.6 of July 2004 
or later) are needed.

Enjoy if you like the tool (and in case it should work with your 
configuration).
