Pay attention, the JQueryUI Autocompleter and the JQueryUI Buttons are
not fully integrated into Seaside yet. Also they base on unstable
Javascript code.

I will have a look at that today.

I think the default installation should not depend any of these large
Javascript libraries. Pier-Seaside should remain agnostic from the
library used. That's also why we rewrote the editor plugin using bare
Javascript, and not build on top of Scriptaculous.

I would prefer to remove PRAjaxSerachWidget from Pier-Seaside. It is
sort of alien, because it is the only component that depends on some
Javascript library. I guess both components could go into a plugin as
soon as JQueryUI stabilizes ... hopefully soon.
