[PD] Browse/Search plugin update

I updated my search plugin by adding a progressbar:

http://puredata.info/Members/jancsika/searchandbrowseplugin/view

It also prints out the number of files it searched.  There were some
reports of a search taking over a minute, but with GNU/Linux and
winxp I'm getting about 3 seconds for a little over 9,000 docs (I
think I'm searching two different copies of pd-extended libs so
that should be well over what you'd typically be searching).  If
people are getting long searches please start by telling me how
many files you're searching.  Also, the progressbar updates don't
start until it's built a list of files and sorted it, so if it's taking a long
time when you search before the progressbar appears then that
may be the culprit.

Now that the interface updates live I don't really think there's much
need to build an index.  You can start reading the first results
immediately and even scroll the list as it finishes printing the results.
(I guess I can also add a "Cancel" button, too.)

Let me know if there are any bugs.
