May be we have misunderstanding here. By "visual" I mean the conversion
of the buffer to its "visual" order and then searching. The user has no
problem to know what she is searching for because she sees the searched
string in the mini-buffer. For real user confusion I'll use regular
expression search (even limited). If the normal search (which the user
sees only the visual order) and is done on the logical order (like it 
is done on M$Windows) is confusing, then reg-exp search will look like
something unpredictable whenever it will include Hebrew and digits.

Ehud.
