In "incremental search" (I'm assuming from context you are using that), any whitespace you enter will match a sequence of one or more whitespaces. You can change this behaviour by setting the variable "isearch-lax-whitespace" to nil (there is a command for that, "isearch-toggle-lax-whitespace"). Try M-x isearch-toggle-lax-whitespace to change that. hth - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlaqHEYACgkQBcgs9XrR2kYVFQCfdENCnOpk7i/BtfTVOsYOflxv 8JsAnjD3xvFyO97XcNAInt5a21ulbJcm =sVCc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
