Subject: [PATCH] (finder-mode): Don't switch buffers or change text here.
 (finder-by-keyword): Don't call finder-mode here. (finder-list-matches): Call
 finder-mode here. Switch to a buffer called *Finder Category*.
 (finder-list-keywords): Call finder-mode here. Switch to the buffer *Finder*.
 If the buffer already exists, don't reinitialize it or move point.
