Okay, so can a cross-reference to "Replacement and Lax Matches" be added to the "Lax Search" node? I mean, I did what you suggested in an earlier reply to someone else: I went straight to the "Lax Search" node. I didn't see anything in there to give me a clue about replace-character-fold. I did see the cross-reference to "Replace", but that was in the context of case-fold-search, which, unlike character folding, does apply to replace commands. With the current "Lax Search" text, there's just not enough of a hint to the reader that additional important information is available. Also, will the help strings for the search and the replace functions be updated to mention the relevant character folding variables? They already mention case-fold-search. (And I'd be less concerned about the "Lax Search" text if the help string gave me the right clue.) thanks, mike
