Yes, this patch looks much better. One final thing: Currently you have 
function called "search()" declared in the gncIDSearch.h header. This name is 
too generic and prone to clash with another function declaration anywhere 
else. Either you rename this into the same naming scheme as the others (so 
that it will be a unique enough name), or (more simply) you remove the 
declaration from the header file and solely declare it in the gncIDSearch.c 
file. Usually, people would probably go for the latter solution so that the 
implementation function isn't visible to the outside, in which case the naming 
also doesn't really matter.
