A slight tangent, but dmenu-4.5 uses token matching, which allows you to search somewhat fuzzily: "foo rb" will match "foobarbaz". How it looks compared to Alfred and co. is a matter of one's aesthetic...

Disclosure: I'm a dmenu developer.

Thank goodness; been waiting for this forever.

I actually ported dmenu to OCaml solely to add this feature: http://technomancy.us/152

I've always wondered -- is it suckless as in suck less than something else, or as in without suck?

It says right on the suckless.org home page, "software that sucks less," so probably the first.

I've been saying that wrong in my head for a long time now. Thank you :-).
