Subject: [PATCH 2.6.23-rc4] qconf ("make xconfig") Search Dialog Enhancement

Hi all!

[ I'm not subscribed to this list so please CC me on your replies. ]

This patch is against kernel-2.6.23-rc4, and aims to enhance the "make 
xconfig" search dialog. At the moment what it does is allow searching on 
the "help" field of the menus as well as the "name" of the symbol. Try 
searching for "you will get a watchdog" before and after the patch to see 
what I mean.

I'm next planning to add a radio button for choosing between regex match and 
substring match, as well as implement keywords search.

This change involved adding the sym_generic_search function to the LKC, and 
implementing sym_re_search using it.

Regards,

	Shlomi Fish
