It seems this is the most reasonable default behavior. But I also think it would be too annoying to fail before leaving every Info node. It would be better to fail only in the first Info node where isearch was started. Of course, this doesn't preclude creating at least four different options for the `Info-isearch-search' variable: - never fail (current behavior) - fail only in the node where isearch was started (proposed default) - fail in every node visited by isearch (somebody may like this) - fail and wrap to the beginning of the current node (old behavior) -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
