For example: > * "Isearch:" > * "Isearch [failing]:" > * "Isearch [overwrapped]:" > * "Isearch [failing, overwrapped]:" > * "Isearch [failing, initial node]:" > > It would add consistency to the Isearch visual feedback. ... however a downside of this approach is that the position of the search string varies each time a flag is added to or removed from the prompt. I really dislike that, and btw, this effect occurs currently ("I-search: foo" -> "Failing I-search: foo" ...). So, I rather would write the flags at the right side of the search string, like the error messages are showed right now: * "Isearch: foo" * "Isearch: foo [failing]" * "Isearch: foo [failing, overwrapped]" * "Isearch: foo [failing, initial node]" ... This approach raises a question: how to show the _error_ flags to make them distinguishable from the _informative_ flags? One possibility is to show all the flags the same way. After all, the fact that the errors deactivate the Isearch should be enough for the user to know what's going on, I think. --=20 Dani Moncayo
