The user types <escape> C-s SPC $ C-s C-s C-s
thinking that he will be searching for the regular expression " $" but
instead he becomes searching for "\\s-+$" ... no wonder it find more
than one asked for... doing C-x esc esc reveals
(isearch-resume "\\s-+$" t nil t "\\s-+$" t)
"If I had wanted to search for that I would have said so. Alls I
wanted to search for was for lines with a SPC at the end. Yes, in 4
out of 5 cases I probably want also to do what it proposed, but not
today."
