[Bf-funboard] Object Search

[Campbell Barton]

This searches for an object - like searching for a file on your 
harddrive- so say you want to know what object uses a material, or an 
image thats lost its file (file does not exist)
This will go through all your objects in all your scenes and select it,.


Some things need to be added, like search for objects in a group but Iv 
been using it to help manage some model libraries.
