See README for details on configuring config locations, and
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html
for the gory details. The old locations are still supported for
backwards-compatibility.

Surfraw is now maintained by the Debian Surfraw-Devel Team. Please

Elvi now live in ${PREFIX}/lib/surfraw
Use surfraw-update-path to add this directory to your path or
prefix elvi with sr or surfraw, eg "sr google foo bar".
Bookmarks can be defined in /etc/surfraw.bookmarks or
~/.surfraw.bookmarks. See /etc/surfraw.bookmarks for the format.
Bookmarks can be used with "sr [options] bookmarkname".
There is now a test suite. "make test" to run it or
see test/README.
For a full list of changes since the last release, see
debian/changelog. From this release onwards, changes will be

Please note that the elvi have moved again, to /usr/lib/surfraw
If you used surfraw-update-path from version 2.0 to add the elvi
directory to your path, you will need to run it again, first with
-remove to remove the old path, then again with -add. To change your
path you will need to either log out and in again or source the
relevant config files.
