Re: Window remembering last used buffer and i-search

[Lars Brange <lars.brange@aurum.se>]

I know. What I want to do is that I want to have different i-search strings for
each buffer. Let's say I start a search for "main" in one buffer and then
switch to another buffer and search for "sub". When I switch back to the first
buffer and hit C-s twice I want it to use "main", not "sub".
