Oh, should we update the help, too? ;)

One way: Use the up arrow or your backwards scroll to select the search field at the top ... or ...

S will do the trick :).

It's not totally obvious, which is why updated help will be good to have.

Press S or Escape or use the up arrow to select the search field.

I wonder this too. If I move the mouse cursor over the search field, then 
whatever characters I type (even without having clicked the mouse) go into 
the search field and are searched on as I type . . . but the reason I use 
Witch is so I won't have to use the mouse.

Pending updated help for Witch 4.0, I’m curious how to trigger the new 
search in Witch?

Are you supposed to just start typing while Witch is open? I have Witch 
configured to close as soon as I release the modifier key, so I can’t ⌘Tab, 
release, and start typing a search.

Is there some hotkey (like the Z/M/W/Q hotkeys for acting on the selected 
application) that triggers a search?
