I am not quite sure if it is harmless - at least doing
this ("clicking on a search result before it is displayed")
a couple of times  I have the effect that documancer
does not react on clicks in the search results list
or on changing a book.
(Sorry, I should have added this description after the "broken pipe"
in the first place...)

Hmm, maybe this depends on the context, what about "-"?
(but I haven't really thought about this. I think
one could leave it as is at the moment and change
the behaviour once users complain. If it really
should turn out to be dependent on the documents
which are searched one could think of adding this as a configuration
option for the corresponding book. But at this point
that would be featurism IMHO ...;-)

Works perfect - many thanks.

Great, this works fantastic, many thanks.
