[Bf-scripts-dev] search engine for help script

[Willian Padovani Germano]

Hi Jonathan,

Yes, that's a good suggestion.  There are a few ways a very simple 
search engine could be done easily for that script, Python really excels 
with its ability with string handling.  Searching all available key 
descriptions for a given keyword and returning the hits would already 
make the script more helpful.  Not sure Jean-Michel Soler is subscribed 
to this list, I'll mention your suggestion to him, thanks.  Of course 
others willing to can code and contribute it, too.  Just mention it to 
JMS so work doesn't get wasted.
