Command Search Tool

I think this is another quintessential example of a tool that should already be native to Revit.

With the help of Claude Opus 4.7, I developed a better search tool for easily finding and activating any tool; very useful if you don’t know where a tool lives or if it’s hidden in a massive pulldown. It’s a modeless window, so it stays open while you work, and lets you :star: star your favorite tools for quick access. It also shows you the location of pyRevit built tools in the toolbar, as well as any tool help information

I’d love to add it to pyRevit, but a couple of things before I create a PR:

  1. Is this worth sharing right now? Looking for honest feedback. There are nearly 2,900 lines of code, and in all likelihood, there are a few bugs I’m not aware of or don’t know how to fix yet.

  2. Should I propose it as a replacement for the existing Search tool? PyRevit already has a search command; would it make sense to pitch this as an upgrade, or better to keep it as a standalone tool?
