Firstly, sometimes it shows the usual message about not finding the string, but moves point forward by a few characters that have no relationship with the search. Point should remain in the same place. Secondly, sometimes after entering the search regex, instead of searching it says Wrong type argument: stringp, nil. Here's how I can repeat it: Start Emacs with no customisation: emacs -nw -Q Invoke Info, go to the directory: C-h i Search: s blahblah RET => Says it can't find it, and point does not move. Go to the Emacs manual: m Emacs (emacs-snapshot) RET Search: s blahblah RET => Says it can't find it, but moves point forward a few characters. Go back to the Info directory: d Search: s blahblah RET => Says "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil" That's all. It was the point moving that I found particularly odd, when searching repeatedly for a term. First point moved as expected with each "s RET" sequence, but then it carried on moving after there were no more occurrences which was confusing. I noticed the error after returning to the Info directory following that. Thanks, -- Jamie
