(`,' tries to find next.) (The stand-alone reader is a text-mode program, so it changes the letter-case to emphasize the part that matched.) It would be nice if Emacs did something similar, although it is probably better to use colors if available. (We could also use bold or italic, but at least bold might cause annoying movement of the mode line, to allow for slightly larger font.)
