You need to do M-w after marking the word with the keyboard.
The node in the info file is called "The Mark and the Region", I
think. After C-h i d m Emacs RET you can type i to search in the
index, then enter "region".

If I mark a word by double clicking (yuck) the mouse, I can do an
incremental search for the word by using c-s m-y. This 'yanks' the marked
word into the minibuffer as the target for the isearch. However, when I
use m-@ to "mark word" and then try the same thing (c-s m-y) I get the
previously marked word and not the current one.
What commands are invoked by a double click. I tried using the
help-describe function, but it will only describe the first click, not a
double click.
Thanks
