The problem with Emacs is that it's so long to use it optimally, that you get used to bad automatisms :) This fact is not written in the documentation string for isearch-forward; there is a hint "Mark saved where search started", but I tend not to see them using emacs in full-screen; I think I would have found it earlier if I could have read it in the doc string of isearch; my suggestion is to put it in the doc string. Thanks, Matthieu
