Therefore he won't find it. It seems the burden should still be on the various components of Emacs used to ensure the user will still find the word without having to learn anything more than the C-s he already knows. Indeed there are some Man-hyphenated-* variables already, but I bet not in connection with search. Or maybe tell that -roff stuff to break at word breaks and avoid hyphenating. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
