[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

How about switching to an eww buffer by title?

I have a hacky way to do it (see below).  I'll be happy to prepare 
a patch if people think this is a sensible feature to add.

(defun eww-switch-by-title (title-and-buffer)
 "Switches to an eww buffer with selected title."
 (interactive
  (list
   (let ((com-table))
     (dolist (buffer (buffer-list))
	(with-current-buffer buffer
	  (when (equal major-mode 'eww-mode)
	    (add-to-list
	     'com-table
	     (concat (plist-get eww-data :title)
		     (propertize (concat " " (buffer-name))
				 'invisible t))))))
     (completing-read "Eww buffer title: " com-table))))
 (string-match "^.* \\(.*\\)$" title-and-buffer)
 (switch-to-buffer (match-string 1 title-and-buffer)))

Best,
Yuchen
