Please incorporate hideFromSearch into plugins

Based on many of the plugins that have come out recently I get the feeling that most people don't use the BTM search plugin. I say that because aside from the XIB button menu plugin that I made, and the free ones from David, few if any plugins include the option to "hide from search" in the control panel. Which means that before I can submit my apps to iTunes I need to go through my config.txt data and look for all the screens I don't wan to include in search (most menus for example) and manually add the "hideFromSearch":"1". My app has a lot of screens so this takes me quite some time. If developers could start adding that to their plugins by default I, and I'm sure many other BT users, would GREATLY appreciate it! Josh

I'll put that in my next plugin update. I've already started to implement it in my new 'crop' of plugin candidates, but it's a good note to bring up. Cheers! -- Smug

@Josh thanks for using my plugin mate. Maybe another update is in order for a custom field to allow you to manually enter them there (in case plugin developers don't all do it) ;) David https://buzztouchmods.com

@Mutzy if your self hosted, add the search option to all the plugins you need by editing the index.php of each one it is a copy and past job of about 10 lines, that would have took you less time than manually editing the json. You're right I have never used the search, or the audio so they were never a thought when making the plugins though I will now add all these feutures in future updates.

I can add it to my plugin too. For me it is a matter of having never used this feature, or understanding its use cases.
