This idea is borrowed from the web browser Vivaldi. It allows user type different nickname to switch different search engine. For example,
g [search pattern] will search with Google Search
w [search pattern] will search with Wikipedia.
In CtrlP, it can be:
f [search pattern] will search file
b [search pattern] will search buffer
t [search pattern] will search tag
and so on.
I think this will be great because people don't need to keep pressing <c-f>/<c-b> to switch mode and then search.
