Hi All,

I made a script that allows you to search for cues.  It's still rough
around the edges, but you're welcome to try it out and let me know how
well it works. ~Stephen

Using This Script

When you run a script, it searches for text in any of the columns of
all the rows in your frontmost cue list.  This may take some time!

Why does it make the Q # field editable?
That's my current hack to focus on the matched cue.

Can I search multiple Cue Lists?
Not currently.  This script will only search the frontmost list.  If
you want to search a sub-list, you must view it and then run the
script.

I'm getting unexpected matches, why is that?
To get the broadest search results, I'm currently ignoring case,
punctuation, and white space when searching.

In the future, I plan to have a version where you can:
1. select what columns to search in.
2. Search the entire QLab file or only the current Cue List.
3. Allow you to control how exact the search matches the text.
(And discontinue this script once Search In QLab becomes a built in
feature ;-) )
