Databox Plugin query - Can't get it to do the actual playlist generation

OK, so I've just discovered the Databox plugin, and generated a suitable search query, which saved itself as 80s.rsp in the root. So far, so good.
However, it is
not
prefixed with the magifying glass icon as described in the Wiki page (
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginDatabox
) and it does not respond to a 'play' action and, indeed, the extension .rsp is not listed in the viewers.config file.
It seems to me that the actual Searchengine plugin is not installed.
Any ideas how to get this working, if it me that's doing something wrong?

Hmm, I'm not certain, but I suspect that Databox is no longer supported since the old Tag Database was superceded by TagCache.
You can do searches using TagCache, but I'm not an expert on them. Have a look at the tagnavi.config syntax in
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/TagCache
and see if that helps.

Thanks for that, pondlife, I wasn't aware that it was a Tagdatabase function - should really be removed from the sourcecode I guess.
I have edited my tagnavi.config quite considerably to give me what I want, but I was testing Databox to do searches by year/decade, which tagCache doesn't handle

I had asked about this earlier, and hopefully Databox or a similar function will be made available in the future.

I don't believe the databox plugin comes with newer builds. It's possible yours is just sitting around from an old build. (I could be wrong.)

Well, I only installed RB for the first time in late July and TagDatabase was not in use then. I think it's still in the source.

There's a difference between "still in the source" and "compiled with daily builds" but yeah, it is still there in the daily builds... It really shouldn't be, and I thought the guys were going to remove it, but I guess they never did.
