Hello valuated Emacs developpers, Just to answer Richard's suggestion "let's ask them" and the wish to poll users : I am new to this mailing list and one suggestion I was going to make was concerning word search, when I discovered that this was already being discussed. I am using Emacs mainly for editing LaTeX documents where auto-fill-mode + indentation is active, and therefore word search is a must and incremental word search is a very very nice to have. I fully agree with Juri's point that the current keys to enter word search is inconvenient, and I find the double meaning of C-w between usual editing and word search difficult (I would prefer to have a less easy to remember key to enter word search provided that that it does not overload the meaning of usual edition keys like C-w). FYI, unfortunately I was never able to have word search work properly. For instance, when I try word search in the *info* node "Word search" and I type "C-s without double quotes) and then I type " the first occurrence at the end of first line of info node text which is : ---- excerpt from info node Word Search -------------- Word search searches for a sequence of words without regard to how the words are separated. More precisely, you type a string of many words, ---- end of excerpt ------------------------------------- Instead of that, I get the following error message : "[(wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p t)]" which is displayed in the Minibuffer and has no trace in the *Message* buffer. Is that normal ? My emacs version is "GNU Emacs 22.0.990.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2007-05-31". Sorry to dwell on it, if this is an already known or solved problem, I am jumping into this thread without having read all of it since the beginning. BR, Vincent.
