 the linked pdf should be updated to the GRASS64-release of september 2010.

 in the upcoming GRASS6.4.1 there are 3 improvements for finding modules in
 the wxgui:

 (1) there is the search-module-tab in the wxgui-layer manager (just as in
 grass65)
 (2) in the command console tab in the wxgui the search module engine can
 be activated for a quick launch of a certain module
 (3) in the command console tab you can type for example r.o and you jump
 automagically to all raster output-commands (r.out.xxx) and can choose the
 desired command

 I'm starting the most time a module by option (3), it's a very fast way to
 avoid searching a module in the wx-pulldown.menues.
