Tags: patch
This patch extends 'isearch-repeat-forward' and 'isearch-repeat-backward'
to support a prefix argument so that during search it is possible to press
C-3 C-s for example to repeat the last search three times. Notice that
you need to set `isearch-allow-scroll' to t for the patch to take effect.
Gideon.

I'm not quite sure that I see how this would be all that useful. `C-s
C-s C-s' isn't a lot more keystrokes than `C-3 C-s', and is easier to
type.
And I can't really see why one would do `C-45 C-s'.
