But if I try to search for \253 (backslash then enter 253 it never finds them. But if I cut and yank one of the symbols it works. The trouble is the file I have is huge and finding these symbols is hard - even though I know what they are. I just can't enter them to search. How do I search for these? -- View this message in context: http://emacs.1067599.n5.nabble.com/How-do-I-search-for-symbols-such-as-253-in-Emacs-tp268928.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
