G'day John,

I misunderstood how completion was previously working.  The patch I
provided was useless.  I'll need to wait for QUERY_TYPE_UNIFIED to get
what I want.

Thanks for prompting me to an understanding.

Yes.  It was intended as a temporary kludge, but was based on a false
premise.  I apologise if you found the name to be denigrating; it was
only intended to indicate that the variable was a kludge.

Until now I have had all three of webjump, bookmark and history
completion enabled.  I thought that was working, but I now find that
it was not searching bookmarks.  It so happened that (as I've only
been using conkeror a short time) all my bookmarked sites were also in
the history, so I never noticed that.

So I will use your suggestion for now.  Once QUERY_TYPE_UNIFIED works
I'll re-enable all three.

Thanks again, David.
