Custom search

[dpaulat]

I'd like to have a few additional hooks added to the cpg1.6.x base to allow for custom search capabilities outlined in the following forum post:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,79260.0.html

The following capabilities are introduced:

• Modify $allowed array (search fields)
• Join additional tables to search query
• Modify WHERE clause of search query

This supports the plugin I'm developing:

Nice work, Dan. I want to take a bit of time to look at this (as soon as I can)

Great, thanks! No hurry, enjoy the holidays. I will get an update submitted with *CHANGELOG.txt* soon.

In looking at this, I wanted to see how it works with your plugin. I had some problems with it because you have a couple of hard coded database prefixes (cpg16x). Fixed that but your javascript will not run with the current CPG jQuery default (1.4.2). I'll begin another effort with the dev team to move that forward (it's way past time).

I've made these updates, as well as some general cleanup and readme updates to the develop branch. The readme should be a little clearer on installation dependencies and usage. Let me know if you have any further troubles.
