+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This module allows you to switch to buffers even faster than with
+;; iswitchb!  It is not intended to replace it, however, as it works
+;; well only with buffers whose names don't typically overlap.  You'll
+;; have to try it first, and see how your mileage varies.
+;;
+;; The first way to use isearchb is by holding down a modifier key, in
+;; which case every letter you type while holding it searches for any
+;; buffer matching what you're typing (using the same ordering scheme
+;; employed by iswitchb).  To use it this way, add to your .emacs:
+;;
+;;   (isearchb-set-keybindings 'super)  ; s-x s-y s-z now finds "xyz"
+;;
+;; The other way is by using a command that puts you into "search"
+;; mode, just like with isearch.  I use C-z for this.  The binding in
+;; my .emacs looks like:
+;;
+;;   (define-key global-map [(control ?z)] 'isearchb-activate)
+;;
+;; Now, after pressing C-z (for example), each self-inserting
+;; character thereafter will search for a buffer containing those
+;; characters.  For instance, typing "C-z xyz" will switch to the
+;; first buffer containing "xyz".  Once you press a non-self-inserting
+;; character (such as any control key sequence), the search will end.
+;;
+;; C-z after C-z toggles between the previously selected buffer and
+;; the current one.
+;;
+;; C-g aborts the search and returns you to your original buffer.
+;;
+;; TAB, after typing in a few characters (after C-z), will jump into
+;; iswitchb, using the prefix you've typed so far.  This is handy when
+;; you realize that isearchb is not powerful enough to find the buffer
+;; you're looking for.
+;;
+;; C-s and C-r move forward and backward in the buffer list.  If
+;; `isearchb-show-completions' is non-nil (the default), the list of
+;; possible completions is shown in the minibuffer.
+;;
+;; If `isearchb-idle-timeout' is set to a number, isearchb will quit
+;; after that many seconds of idle time.  I recommend trying it set to
+;; one or two seconds.  Then, if you switch to a buffer and wait for
+;; that amount of time, you can start typing without manually exiting
+;; isearchb.
+
+;; TODO:
+;;   C-z C-z is broken
+;;   killing iswitchb.el and then trying to switch back is broken
+;;   make sure TAB isn't broken
