isearch show the number of the match

isearch show the number of the match

[Samuel Wales]

i get confused about what match i am on when i run isearch and the
lines are identical.

i want a sequence number for each match in the minibuffer.
the manual for 26.1 seems to have something like what i am loking for:

isearch-lazy-count ¶

    Show the current match number and the total number of
    matches in the search prompt.

but the variable does not exist and is not in the dir that contains isearch.el.

also, does consult (or whatever package works with vertico) offer this?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
isearch-lazy-count is a variable defined in ‘isearch.el’.

Its value is nil

Show match numbers in the search prompt.
When both this option and ‘isearch-lazy-highlight’ are non-nil,
show the current match number and the total number of matches
in the buffer (or its restriction), including all hidden matches.

  This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
  version 27.1 of Emacs.
  You can customize this variable.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What version of Emacs are you using?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Is this a way to make this text appar in `mm-uu-extract'?
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Okay, so what is that syntax?

my mistake.  i was looking at an online manual for a version greater
than the version i was using.  i also got confused and thought i was
looking at the info manual and teh corret one.  kind of sacreligious
error.  apologies for the noise.

my ido with ido-hacks is not working, so i am beginning to get really
curious about vertico & co. as a replacement.  is another reason i
asked the consult question.
