With the default setting, when you do C-s SOMETHING RET, a command (isearch-resume "SOMETHING" nil nil t "SOMETHING" (quote t)) is added to the command history. IMO, this is very annoying. C-s C-s already resumes the last isearch, and C-s M-p M-p resumes earlier isearches. So there's no reason to clutter C-x ESC ESC with this. Setting isearch-resume-enabled to nil avoid cluttering the command history with those (superfluous) isearch-resume commands. I would recommend using isearch-resume-enabled = nil the default. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
