emacs -Q
In a buffer with text abcd, use `C-s abx RET'. Then use `C-s C-s
DEL'. For me, it removes the entire search string.
isearch-delete-char (`DEL') removes the last entry, whether that be a
string of letters or a single letter. The easiest way I know to get a
string of letters is with isearch-yank-word-or-char (`C-w'), but
typing them in works, too.
When I invoke isearch twice without isearch-yank-word-or-char, but put
in several characters each time, a single isearch-delete-char (`DEL')
removes the last character. Then, when I get to the first part, it
removes all of it.
... I withdraw what I wrote. ...
If you use `C-s abx C-a' in a buffer with only `abcd', and then
you use `C-s C-s C-M-w', the search string is changed from `abx'
to `ab', but the prompt/echo still says "Failing", which is not
really correct.
I think it is a bug. The isearch-forward command correctly says
`Failing I-search' the first time it fails. However, use of
isearch-del-char (`C-M-w') causes the isearch-forward command to light
up the other strings it can find (my test buffer is this message and
mentions `ise' several times as part of `isearch') and I can reach
them. That is the bug.
