I'm not too worried about indexing. What I'd like is a little more control over the search directories, so it was clear which order they were searched in and the order could easily be changed.  This would mean that the folders with the things I use most (eg. the start menu) would be searched first and show in the results quickly, other folders  (eg. my music collection) would take longer.

If FARR is then more responsive during searching I could then easily select things from the most important folders (eg. start menu) without waiting whilst it gets stuck on some of the other folders.

i may have to make a little mini toolbar for the htmlview mode with options like "open in browser", refresh, etc.  and i guess an address bar too.

I'm not sure abot a mini-toolbar and address bar.

The sort of things I'd expect the viewer to be used for are:

• Formatting of results (I'm thinking here more of the current memo/notes view rather than the current list)
• Stripped down content scraped from a page on the web
• Specialist links to things such as a file on the local file system or another page (which would be generated by the plugin)

The thing is some of these things wouldn't work if the page was passed to a normal browser, so I don't immediately see why the mini HTML viewer needs to have the functions of a normal web browser. Such things would seem to fill up space without adding much.

Maybe we need to consider in a bit more detail what plugins would use the viewer and whether they should use the viewer or just the current system. Then the viewer can contain the required functionality without becoming too complicated.

Thanks for the encouragement.

• When I update the pack then I'll update the instructions to put it into the Installed folder
• As to webspace I assume this means I'd just put the link to the file into any posts and everybody then always gets the latest version. If so this seems a good idea and I'm happy to go ahead with this (though I might need a few pointers to get it all working!)
