I think there should be an explicit method for finding a thing which is denoted by a term that is known, only not the exact function (or variable) name, as in this case: to trim a string is the conventional designation, and `string-trim' is the function - so far all good. Even further, the method is: 1. C-h i m Elisp RET i trim RET 2. C-h i m Elisp RET C-s trim RET C-s C-s... 3. Ask on gnu.emacs.help and in this case success happens at the third attempt. > Incremental search is much better, of course. Doesn't "incremental" refer to the search triggering *before* you have typed the entire string? Well, I don't like that, but if you mean you can wrap the same search string over the entire material that of course is what makes it useful. "Global search", perhaps? -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 57 Blogomatic articles -
