Subject: what is <find>?
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2010 09:40:32 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a18eaae2-5ace-4db6-9c80-1c627ec4e440@o12g2000vba.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hi,
After I did a nonincremental search with M-x search-forward, Emacs
sent me this text message: "You can run the command  'search-forward'
with <find>." Can someone please tell me what "<find>" is? I found
something about "find" in the manual related to dired, but it didn't
look related. And googling <find> is hard because Google ignores
special characters when searching.
Thanks
