* bug#7787: 23.2; wrong meaning for mouse-2 while in search mode

In xemacs, if I double click on a word, the word is highlighted.  If I then press control-s for search, and click the middle mouse button *without moving the mouse*, I will paste that word into the search string, and all is good.

Emacs, on the other hand, does not support this idiom.  For some reason, the middle mouse button *ABORTS* the search mode, and then pastes the word under the mouse.  Why would you want that?

This idiom alone has kept me using xemacs for over a decade.  I'd like to switch to emacs now.

Can I fix this easily with option-setting, or does it require me to hack and add the correct behavior?
