Bug #3118

remove "Add" button from data Sources dialog

Updated about 16 years ago.
Description
The data Sources dialog (accessible from the Search pane) has been updated to include a 'Refresh' function that obsoletes the need for the previous 'Add' function. The corresponding 'Add' button should be removed from the dialog box, and the search dialog that is brought up when clicking the Add button should be removed from the source tree as it is nw obsolete.
As part of RC1, we've removed (comment out) the Add button from the GUI. All the other underlying code for searching the registry and adding those entries remains intact.
I think it might be a little premature to be removing the search interface from the source tree completely. While we may not be anticipating huge amounts of registry entries for [Authenticated]QueryServices, there maybe the potential to use some of the search code for managing and searching for Distributed Computing Nodes (also stored as registry entries).
We can reopen this if after more consideration we are sure that there will be no need for a search interface for registry entries....closing [for now].
