1.There are two ways to install the plugin. Extract and copy the files to the 
specified folder manually OR just run install.sh. You don't need to do both.

2.It's recommended to install the plugin on your home folder and the install.sh 
is written for doing that only. If you want to install for all user, extract 
and copy the files to the specified folder manually.

Ok, I've had a look what went on when I tried to install.

When I extracted to /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins  I extracted the entire contents 
of the tar.gz resulting in 
/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/advanced_find-2.2.0/advancedfind - for whatever reason 
gedit wasn't finding the plugin that deep.

When I ran install.sh before editing it, nothing was created at ~/.gnome2/gedit 
- there's still just three text settings files there, nothing related to 
advancedfind at all. I received no messages & was running with elevated 
privileges.

When I edited the install.sh & ran it, it created 
/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/advancedfind & gedit found the plugin.

I'm using gedit 2.30.3 if that makes a difference.

To install the plugin manually:

1. Extract the tar.gz at your home folder.
2. Copy the advancedfind folder and advancedfind.gedit-plugin (or 
advancedfind.plugin in v3.x) to specified directory.
3. Solve the privilege issue if necessary.

To install the plugin using install.sh:
1. Extract the tar.gz at your home folder.
2. Run install.sh in command line.
3. This method installs the plugin for current user only.
