[PD] Browse/Search plugin update

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Ok, I changed the progress bar and replaced the sluggish
[lsort -command].  It now responds pretty much instantaneously
when you start a search:

Earlier when I tested on winxp it initially took about 15 seconds to
load the search, but then it took around 3 seconds after that (even
after re-opening Pd, so I don't think it was caching anything).  Haven't
tried on OSX yet.
