I'm not quite sure whether I understand what you mean.  In the first
paragraph it seems you want the occurrences listed in the bottom window.
That's what `switch-to-buffer-other-window' should do: If it doesn't
find a suitable window it may split the largest or least recently used
one.  The original window should become the upper one and the results of
`moccur' should go to the lower one.  Please verify whether this fails
to happen on your system, for example, by invoking C-x 4 b from the
original window and typing in the name of the "moccur" buffer.

In the second paragraph it seems that you want to see the results in an
"other-window at the top".  Please clarify this.

I didn't try it because it doesn't compile correctly here.  But I
suppose your analysis is correct.  The problem seems with the
`pop-to-buffer' calls (I found three of them) since they open a window
below the window showing the list of matches.  You can try to replace
two of these calls - namely those appearing as

           (pop-to-buffer moccur-mocur-buffer)

with

	  (let ((window (selected-window)))
	    (select-window (split-window))
	    (set-window-buffer window moccur-mocur-buffer))

Note: The `select-window' is here to select the window listing the
matches - I suppose that's how moccur operates.  Without warranty!

It seems that you did not try color-moccur library. As I think, moccur acts approximately so:

searches buffers -> displays results in the _current_ window -> binds up/down keys to the "go to prev/next occurence" -> in the "go to", calls (switch-to-buffer-other-window found-buffer) + (goto-line found-line)



so _found buffers_ are displayed inside the bottom window but I want them inside the top



PS thanks for C-x 4 b, I did not know this key

How to make moccur results to be inside the bottom window?

[bdimych]

After moccur, window is splitted vertically and results appear inside the top
window, but I would like to see them inside the bottom window like it is
made in many other editors

I looked into the color-moccur.el - there are many
switch-to-buffer-other-window calls, Is it possible to configure this
function or "defadvice" it so that it would open other-window at the top?

Please help
