+Iswitchb global minor mode provides convenient switching between buffers
+using substrings of their names by replacing the normal keybindings
+@kbd{C-x b}, @kbd{C-x 4 b}, @kbd{C-x 5 b} and @kbd{C-x 4 C-o}.
+
+When you are prompted for a buffer name, as you type in a substring the
+list of buffers currently matching it is displayed as you type, with the
+most recent buffers visited towards the start of the list.  The buffer
+at the start will be the one visited when you press @key{RET}.  By
+typing more of the substring, the list is narrowed down so that
+gradually the buffer you want will be at the top of the list.
+Alternatively, you can use @kbd{C-s} and @kbd{C-r} to rotate buffer
+names in the list until the one you want is at the top of the list.
+Completion is available so that you can see what is common to all of the
+matching buffers as you type.
