It's kinda ugly:

    ("downloads" `isInfixOf`) `fmap` title --> doIgnore

or equivalently

    fmap (isInfixOf "downloads") title --> doIgnore

More generally, to apply a comparison operation of some kind to a Query
string, use "fmap" to run it "inside" the Query.  So you can read the first
version somewhat naturally as 'run ("downloads" `isInfixOf` x) with "x"
being the string inside of "title"'.

(You will probably need "import Data.List (isInfixOf)" at the top of your
xmonad.hs.)
