- option --match added to skip error message searching all three - simplified logic, removed extra variables - updated help
Marked default search as deprecated given the warning message and unanticpated behavior it can cause with COMMAND CHANINING. Reordered manpage a little to identify criteria and options.

Jordan (@jordansissel) please let me know if there are any questions or concerns on this PR. I think you will find this fixes some bugs around search and --pid that have been reported a few times.. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Minor note: SEARCH_PID could also just be looked for in the searchmask here as in line 164. Effect is the same, not sure which is clearer.

Search criteria option parsing is is improved in this PR. Fixes at least #14 and #71
The old default behavior, which was already deprecated by the warning message emitted as been further deprecated in this PR. A new option --match is added that is preferable and more explicit than the "assumption" previously made which avoids the warning. The manpage has been update to reflect more clearly that a [criteria] is required for search.
This PR fixes the case where you do
xdotool search --pid $$ getwindowname "%@"
previously it would consume the COMMAND CHAINING getwindowname as the search criteria and report "%@" as an error.
Previously deprecated --title option was removed from the manpage and usage.
