When I am reviewing a document and trying to find the paragraph where I=20 wrote something, I try to search for a sequence of words. Some times=20 (fortunately not all the times) those words are on different lines=20 (thus, with a new line in the middle) and the usual search method does=20 not find it. When that happens, I try a new search without one or two wor= ds. The question is: is there any search function to help me on this? I know=20 it is probably easy to write it, but as my lisp coding skills are near=20 the bottom line, probably it is a good idea to ask first :) THank you Alberto --=20 Alberto Sim=F5es - Departamento de Inform=E1tica - Universidade do Minho Campus de Gualtar - 4710-057 Braga - Portugal
