This allows us to replace the tedious 'selectSearch google "firefox"; selectSearch yahoo "firefox"...' with shorter 'selectSearch google' and so on. One less argument. Also, update the docs.

As for the changes to RunOrRaise, firefox 3 actually works without resorting to classname (the pid thing works). I was just wary about changing it since firefox 3's not out yet, and that doesn't work with older firefoxes _____ Justin Bogner
I dunno what the pid thing is; classes are kind of fragile, so I'm interested in a better way (though I believe that by title and class is how all the other wms implement run-or-raise). But are you sure my change doesn't work with older Firefoxes? From reading the docs, I had understand that 'className =? "Firefox-bin" <||> className =? "Firefox"' should work, as it will match any windows that use either the new Firefox 3 classname of 'Firefox', or an older firefox using 'Firefox-bin' as a class. (Admittedly, I did not test the or'ing with both a new and old Firefox, but I used to use the first matcher and it worked fine, and I use the new matcher now, and it works fine; so the disjunction should follow AFAIK.) -- gwern explosion dog SASP PPP Sears passwd fulminate Choe WINGS Golani
