Sorry if this has been asked before:- - Can one search for text at the location of the point? If a point is within word "foo" I'd like to C-s so that I dont have to enter that word when promted for a search term - I'd like to be able to search for say ^[a-g] with regular expressions. Can any one point me to the location of the info doc? - Finally I'd like to have all matching terms stay highlighted a bit longer. C-s does highlight terms, but as soon as I C-v to look down the page it's gone. -- John Maclean - 07739 171 531 MSc (DIC)
