I think I prefer the original behavior (but actually, I use a private
version of `word-search-regexp' that behaves entirely differently, so my
opinion doesn't matter). But apart from that, the patch doesn't work as
expected (even with the other patch that adds indication also
installed):
- in emacs -Q, hit C-h i to go to the info top dir
- I want to word search for "directory". point is at point-min.
- I hit d. Isearch jumps to the "d" in "Type "d" in Info to..."
- I type the remaining letters: "irectory". The isearch prompt says
"Failed" apparently because I'm now past all matches and isearch
didn't reconsider the text before the first match "d".
Michael.
