plugin Threadsearch broken in 10.05 on Windows XP

Hello,
Using 8.02 version for a long time, I just upgrated to 10.05 (Windows XP SP3).
Unfortunately, one of the plugins I was using that really made the difference (for me) seems to be broken:
ThreadSearch

See:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=ThreadSearch

When installing the file ThreadSearch-1.1.cbplugin, I get a message telling me that it was buid for an older version of the SDK, and the log message is:
C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks/share/codeblocks/plugins/ThreadSearch.dll: not loaded (missing symbols?)

Does anybody has a clue on how to make it work ? Any plans for upgrading this plugin ?

Thanks

ThreadSearch is included in the installer, but you have to enable the contrib plugins.

Thank you very much for your answer. Sorry, I must be dumb or something, but I just can't figure out how to "enable the contrib plugins".

- Checked the wiki page about plugins:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Code::Blocks_Plugins
Found nothing. Once I get it, I volunteer for adding some explanations to this page...

-Checked the included .chm manual: the "threadsearch" entry in the "plugin" part of the manual does not tell about installing, only its usage.

-Checked my C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks folder: there is indeed a threadsearch.zip file, holds only a "manifest.xml" file...

-Checked C::B plugins->Manage plugins menu : in the list, threadsearch does not appear, and installing a new one seems to require a .cbplugin file (which is what I did at first). And no "enable..." checkbox or equivalent.

-Checked the "Settings" menu: nothing about plugins.

Would it be possible to have a little clue ? I really like codeclocks, and I'm sure I missed something in the list, but what ?

The is in the installer of C::B.
Reinstall C::B and make sure you enable the installation of the contrib plugins.
I've never used the installer, so I don't know the exact steps.

Ok, thank you very much, it was indeed in the install options.
I added two lines to the wiki to make it clearer.
