The search never succeeds. For example, if I try to search for the words "learn basic" in the Emacs welcome screen: emacs -q Enters the welcome screen M-s w Starts isearch-forward-word l Emacs beeps and the prompt says "Failing word I-search:" earn The prompt still says "Failing word I-search:" even though the word "learn" is now highlighted as an "other match". SPC The prompt still says "Failing word I-search:" basic The prompt still says "Failing word I-search:" Could you try to fix this?
