show found object name

[porres]

When you search for an object with a wildcard you get a library name but not the found object.

For instance "free*" gives us "freeverb~" and "else", but it doesn't show which object was found in ELSE (it would be "free.rev~").

i thought about that, but couldn't come up with a simple GUI to show that information.

Maybe just a listing of which objects are found in which library, in the Log pane?

hmm. doable.

i'm not really convinced (from a UX pov) though.

the problem is that e.g. an object matching free* is found in 11 entities (comprised of 2 libraries, with 4 resp. 2 versions, and at least 1 of these library/version tuples has multiple architectures.

i understand that you probably only have the "latest release for my architecture" in mind (which is the default filter), or at least only the "installable" results (those that would not be grayed out), which significantly reduces the number of results.

my gut feeling tells me telling the user to open their browser with http://deken.puredata.info/search.html?objects=free* is probably a better idea (the webpage is also easier to enhance than the plugin)
