Arguments: object-editor
This function is called by the :search-button
widget of an object-editor
dialog (see command-buttons),
and may also be called directly by application code.
It allows the user to search for an arbitrary string in a slot (or all
slots) of the edited-instances
of the object-editor (which must be an
object-editor
). It does
this by displaying a modal dialog where the user may enter the search
string and select the slot to search. Multiple matches are presented
in a list where the user can select a matching instance to display.
A match is found whenever the search string is a subsequence of the stringified slot value. (When the value of a searched slot is not a string, then prin1-to-string is used to produce a string to test.) The test is char= if the Case Sensitive check-box is checked, and char-equal otherwise.
Successive invocations of this dialog will initially display the previous matches. This allows the user to display another matching instance without redoing the search.
