However, now isearch-forward now also searches the subsequent manual pages and takes me away from the page I'm interested in. That seems a bit redundant and also inappropriate. How about, if isearch-forward doesn't find what its looking in the current file, it starts searching all other files in the same directory, computer, universe...? Maybe theres been a long thread about this which I've missed, in which case I apologise but is there a variable to change this behaviour back to the old one? Could it be made the default? I've also noticed that if you abort a search (C-s) before it gets to the end of the manual the formatting of the links on the current page gets messed up. Nick
