This is GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu).

The Emacs manual, chapter "Replacement Commands" mentions Transient
Mark mode as a generic way to make replacement commands operate on the
region as opposed to the buffer.  However, no link is provided to the
"Transient Mark Mode" chapter.  I think such a link should be added.

Here's a diff against search.texi, revision 1.33 from the Savannah CVS
archive:

    The replace commands normally operate on the text from point to the
! end of the buffer; however, in Transient Mark mode, when the mark is
! active, they operate on the region.  The replace commands all replace
! one string (or regexp) with one replacement string.  It is possible to
! perform several replacements in parallel using the command
! @code{expand-region-abbrevs} (@pxref{Expanding Abbrevs}).

Thanks, I added such a cross-reference.
