TUTORIAL teaches about incremental commands:

  * SEARCHING
  -----------

  The Emacs search command is "incremental".  This means that the
  search happens while you type in the string to search for.

  The command to initiate a search is C-s for forward search, and C-r
  for reverse search.  BUT WAIT!  Don't try them now.

  When you type C-s you'll notice that the string "I-search" appears as
  a prompt in the echo area.  This tells you that Emacs is in what is
  called an incremental search waiting for you to type the thing that
  you want to search for.  <Return> terminates a search.

  Did you see what happened?  Emacs, in an incremental search, tries to
  go to the occurrence of the string that you've typed out so far.  To
  go to the next occurrence of "cursor" just type C-s again.  If no such
  occurrence exists, Emacs beeps and tells you the search is currently
  "failing".  C-g would also terminate the search.

  If you are in the middle of an incremental search and type <DEL>, the
...

so this is what newbies need to know and use from the menu.
