Hi Peter,

I think we should keep the script as simple as possible. In fact, I
simplified it even more and uploaded it to the surf wiki (you can get
the last version of the script at http://nibble.develsec.org/get/surf.sh
while the wiki is not updated).

In this version:
* The field 'tag' is not stored in bookmarks, I use to search bookmarks
  by url (or I simply use delicious for public bookmarks)
* The option b in ^g has been removed (this function is already done by
  dmenu)
* The current url is passed to dmenu with ^G so it can be easily edited.
* Instead of storing all the search history, I get the last keyword and
  pass it to dmenu (^s).
* The function s_set_uri has been replaced by the generic s_xprop
* More code clean up.

Kind regards,
