When you enter :

:browse oldfiles

you get a list of files. You can then select the file you want to edit
by entering the corresponding number. Fine, unless you have a lot of
files and many pages to browse. The "more prompt" of vim appears then,
but you can't make any search in the output stream.

It becomes easier with the TBrowseOutput command. Once the file selected
and inserted in the ex command-line, all you have to do is replacing
the beginning of the line, say :

:25: ~/source/edit/vim/README_extra.txt

so that it becomes :

:e ~/source/edit/vim/README_extra.txt (and <cr>)

I'll look into the code to see if that change can be made and validated
automatically.

A more generic approach would be to feed the input of the initial
vim command with the adequate value (in this case, the number of the
selected entry, ie 25). Then, it would also work for :

:tselect /pattern
z=
