Description

Sets whether we should show the search button to search all scripts.
When enabled, the MBS Plugin adds a button to Script Workspace to search all scripts. On macOS we add it to the window title bar on the right and show a magnifying glass button. For Windows we add a regular button to the Script Workspace.

Once clicked, the plugin takes a snapshot of all the scripts in the Script Workspace. Then we open a window to show the search window and whatever results we have. Opening the window may take a few seconds with a big database! On Windows we may store the xml in a temporary file while the window is open.

You can search text in scripts and our plugin shows where the text is found with a little preview.

Keep the window open to perform multiple searches. When you are done, you can of course close it. The plugin closes the search window when you close the parent Script Workspace window.

On macOS you can click the result entry and jump to the script. The plugin searches the script by name, so please avoid multiple scripts with the same name in different groups.

You can customize the search.html file. You find it within the bundle for the Mac plugin. Copy it to the extensions folder. You can customize it and whenever the window opens, we check if the search.html is in the extensions folder and use that one. Your customization may use the same https://monkeybreadsoftware.com/ URLs to jump to scripts. Or trigger scripts via fmp:// URLs.
