Several issues related to the C++ memory management interacting badly with Python's have caused lots of segfaults during development.
Most of these should now be solved, but save your work often and proceed with caution while testing this extension.
Description
This mod adds a search bar next to the What's this? tool.
The results include tools, objects, preferences, and more can be added by registering a result provider (tools, objects and preferences are already providers).
It will display a panel with extra information about the object, tool or parameter. A future version could display the What's This? help for tools, if available (the official FreeCAD What's this? feature does not work on my installation, so I'll need to figure out why first).
Bugs
Please report issues to https://github.com/SuzanneSoy/SearchBar/issues or as replies to this post.
Feedback is really appreciated , I'll wait for some other users to test this before adding it to the official addons repository.
