Yeah; the node-name info is gratuitous anyway - - the node name is already right there in the modeline about .5 cm above the i-search prompt. Something like: Global info I-search: foo [Maybe "Cross-node" would be better than "Global"?] or whatever would be even more similar to the existing "Wrapped", get the point across well, and address your concern about the prompt size bouncing around excessively. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
