1. The doc for `isearch-lazy-count' says this:
Counts matches in the full buffer.
When non-nil, all matches in the full buffer are counted.
The user-visible difference is the indication in the Isearch
prompt of the current match number and the total number.
The current doc makes it sounds like it maybe counts matches
other than for the full buffer when nil, or that this depends
in some way on `isearch-lazy-highlight-buffer'. And it doesn't
say what is done with the count.
Suggested doc (or similar):
Show match number in the Isearch prompt.
Non-nil means show CURRENT/TOTAL, where CURRENT is the current match
number and TOTAL is the number of matches in the buffer (or its
restriction).
2. If I set `isearch-lazy-highlight' to nil after using search
with it as t, the last lazy count indication remains present,
even though the count does not get updated.
3. Since (presumably) this counting feature is available only
when `isearch-lazy-highlight' is non-nil, which justifies the
use of "lazy" in the option value, this fact should be mentioned
in the doc.
Suggested doc (or similar):
Show match number in the Isearch prompt.
When both this option and `isearch-lazy-highlight' are non-nil, show
CURRENT/TOTAL, where CURRENT is the current match number and TOTAL is
the total number of matches in the buffer (or its restriction).
4. Maybe the option should be called `isearch-show-match-number',
but `isearch-lazy-count' sounds better, and it hints that it
depends on `isearch-lazy-highlight'.
