That would depends upon the individual person. For people who loves
Emacs Lisp :) and speak in English, 'sexp would be better. But
(thing-at-point 'sexp) on Japanese sentence returns too much than one
expect, so for Japanese 'word would be better.

Anyway I agree with your suggestion to add variable to change it. I've
added it in the CVS. That is named `w3m-search-thing-at-point-arg'.

Thank you for your suggestion.
