Just to answer Richard's suggestio= n "let's ask them" and the wish to
poll users : I am new to this mailin= g list and one suggestion I was
going to make was concerning word searc= h, when I discovered that this
was already being discussed.

I am= using Emacs mainly for editing LaTeX documents where auto-fill-mode
+ = indentation is active, and therefore word search is a must and
incremen= tal word search is a very very nice to have.

I fully agree with Juri= 's point that the current keys to enter word
search is inconvenient, an= d I find the double meaning of C-w between
usual editing and word searc= h difficult (I would prefer to have a less
easy to remember key to ente= r word search provided that that it does not
overload the meaning of us= ual edition keys like C-w).

FYI, unfortunately I was never able to h= ave word search work properly.
For instance, when I try word search in = the *info* node "Word search"
and I type "C-sC-w" then I type "the= words" (all of these things
without double quotes) and then I type "", I would expect to find
the first occurrence at the end of first l= ine of info node text which is :

---- excerpt from info node Word Se= arch --------------
Word search searches for a sequence of words without= regard to how the
words are separated. More precisely, you type a stri= ng of many words,
---- end of excerpt ----------------------------------= ---

Instead of that, I get the following error message :
"[(wron= g-type-argument integer-or-marker-p t)]" which is displayed in
the Mini= buffer and has no trace in the *Message* buffer. Is that normal
? My em= acs version is "GNU Emacs 22.0.990.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of
2007-05= -31".

Sorry to dwell on it, if this is an already known or solved pr= oblem, I
am jumping into this thread without having read all of it sinc= e the
beginning.

BR,
Vincent.
