I have tested my QuickSearch Toolbar with 0.9.5 and it basically seems to work as an independent window (available from the Library Menu).
It was also working as a panel, and declared in this regard as an UI extension
(class quicksearch_extension : public ui_extension::window)
I would like to get some help in reimplementing it as a "native" toolbar that would thus be available in the standard UI as a toolbar or within/through a toolbar header in layout editing mode.
Thanks for your answer.
