I was confused.  It does work, but it's not enough to be able to throw
an exception -- I also need some form of a yield() call to check if it
should be interrupted...  Is there something like that?

(The search code started as a simple thing that I CPSed so it can be
killed when there's new user input -- if there's a way to do the above
then that code can be simplified too.)
