MeiSearch
A search TAP which uses MyStuff Extended Info (MEI), JAGs CSV or the built in EPG data for EPG information.
Documentation can be found in the readme - here.
You can also follow the discussion thread on Toppy.org.uk.
Check for recent changes in the changelogIMPORTANT: If you run RemoteExtender ensure you have at least version 0.4, or your toppy may stop responding to remote key presses if MeiSearch shows a message box.
