Subject: The widget.autosearch function now understands queries of the form
X-Git-Tag: 1.0.0~829

The widget.autosearch function now understands queries of the form
!var!name (as well as !param!name and !path!number)

Allows the application to set the query into a named variable in
whatever way it wishes, and have MKWS obtain it from that variable.

Fixes bug MKWS-170.
