* af - changed the default search to use an GET instead of a POST. Improved load
time in mozilla.

Enhancements

* pagetemplate preference - set to "maximized.htm" to maximize results window;
or set to any HTML
  page that sets up the browser window the way you want it for your results.
* Fixed some descriptions in various searches; moved some searches to more
appropriate categories
* User-defined searches can be added to a 'localsearches' subdirectory.  These
will not be overwritten on upgrading.
  User-defined searches are indicated in the help and the qsfind popup with a
different color, and in the
  menu with '[local]'
* Modified to display command as tooltip for shortcut on the menu if a name for
the shortcut was supplied.
  This is helpful to see what the actual command is from the shortcuts menu
without having to open up localaliases.txt.
* Added add-ons and searches to modify the popup menu using calls to
registerMenuHook
* Added ability for subcategories in the popup menu by nesting <category/>'s and
for not adding a search if the category has a "nomenu" attribute

Bug Fixes

* Duplicate search function names were not being detected due to an invalid
xquery path
* Uppercase FORM elements were not being detected due to an invalid xquery path
* Change search property name from 'menudisplay' to 'aliasmenudisplay'
* Fixed parseArgs to not require spaces between comma-delimited list of switches
