Yeah .. and it's one of those things about which it's risky to make judgements based on personal experience -- people seem to vary a _lot_ in the way they use isearch (I'm always a bit surprised when I watch someone else using it...). It's a shame, because it would be nice to use more "normal" bindings in isearch to do "isearchey variants", but it's probably necessary to be pretty conservative. -Miles -- Would you like fries with that?
