I've red the manpage for "top" (from heh heh "top" to bottom...), and
I am amazed that there is not a feature to hit '/' or '?' in order to
search and display only processes which match a certain keyword/search
term.  For example, a user running top could hit '/' and enter "fire",
which would display processes related to "firefox."

What is the best way to get (such) a feature added to "top?!"  I know
I know, I'm always causing mayhem.  *grin*
