Hi Andreas,

for the moment, I'm quite happy with the suggest, as it works. I'd stay  
here for 4.3.

But personally I'd say we should immediately deprecate the new introduced  
classes limited to TCEforms and refactor it for 4.4.
This search should not only be usable with TCEforms, but also with the  
page tree filter and may be on other places, too. So I dislike the naming  
(and also the placement in a new subdirectory).

Furthermore (after reading an ExtJS book), I'd say it should better return  
a JSON array and let the display logic be done by ExtJS.
So I'm for a rewrite using ExtJS, which could give us several  
improvements, like a pager.

I really don't want to you piss you off - I like the functionality, but  
see improvements.

Steffen
