searchTerms magic

Hi,
It looks like Apple created Prefernece Panes employ some sort of "secret sauce" to make sure that when particular Pane gets opened in response to search, it gets opened on relevant tab.


Looking into searchTerms files from Apple's preference panes one can easily see direct correlation between keys for top level items and names of top level tabs in corresponding preference panes. For example "Energy Saver" preference pane has "Sleep" and "Options" among top level tabs and EnergyServe.searchTerms has "Sleep" and "Options" among top level keys.

I have tried to replicate this functionality for my preference pane. Searching part works great. I can type relevant terms in search box and my preference pane gets highlighted. Unfortunately, when you trying to select one of search results (to open appropriate preference pane), my preference pane always shows the same top level tab.

Could some one please shed some light on this problem?

You comments will be greatly appreciated

Andrei Tchijov
