hello.

I think I have found a bug in Emacs.  I was searching
for sentences that were separated with only one space
so I used the regexp search with "\. [^ ]".  My
search kept matching sentences with two spaces.
The minibuffer was showing my regexp as "\.\s-+[^ ]".

Hope I'm not missing something, please CC me if there
is any discussion as I am not on this list.

Thanks.
Ciaran O'Riordan

I bet that happened while you used `isearch-forward-regexp'.

Please check the docstring of the variable `search-whitespace-regexp'.

That I didn't know, I found it while researching your bug report.

No problem.

BTW, I you don't know already, I'll suggest taking a look into
`highlight-lines-matching-regexp' (from hi-lock.el), `occur' and
`re-builder'. Very handy.

                                                           /L/e/k/t/u
