I'd like to add the antix search-bar to MX-15. but I cannot find the packages (search-bar & search-bar-icon). apt-cache search returns nothing. Are they part of another package or a meta?

Thanks.

They are in the deb package desktop-defaults-base-antix
BUT installing that deb will cause errors in MX-15. best to download the tarball and copy the search stuff you want.

you can duplicate a lot of the functionality of the search bar in the whisker menu in mx too.

Thanks a bunch, guys.

I know I can do something similar in whisker menu and even appfinder, And it's certainly cool, but it's faster and nicer just selecting a word or a portion of text somewhere instead of typing the launcher symbol(s) plus the text into those tools search boxes.
