This would be very clumsy user interface since it is not an intuitive key for switching search modes, and also will require an indication somewhere for the current mode. However, I think PgDn is a good candidate for a new command that just like PgUp displays a list of completions in a separate buffer, will display a list of elements from the history list in a separate buffer. I think this would be a useful feature. It will allow browsing all elements of the history list in one buffer and using normal isearch to search them. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
