Then it looks like incremental word search will not help, and you need the fancy regexp with the literal line feed character. Given that in the short time I've been watching this list the issue has come up twice, does it make sense to call this a bug of sorts? It's a little disappointing that it's difficult to do something as straightforward as searching / replacing a phrase. It seems in search contexts emacs should read a space as whitespace or feed, unless it's escaped or something. linuxfever wrote: > > Ok, never mind, I found that incremental word search does what I need (M-s > w)!
