Mostly I'm happy, but a change in behavior of isearch is annoying me, and I'd appreciate help fixing it in my configuration. Consider the following (cited) fragment of a log buffer: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > M 10 Oct 11: > > build 08:35-12:07 > run 13:45-16:15 > debug 17:00-17:39 > doc, commit 18:50-19:39 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > T 11 Oct 11: Put point at the beginning of the (uncited) fragment (i.e., remove the citing, and put cursor atop the first '-'). In emacs 23 (and for as long as I can remember before that), if I then did C-s C-y C-s I would get a search for the entire first line (of '-'): point would be at the end of the second separator, which would be found/highlighted-- this I expect, know (certainly my fingers know this :-), and prefer. But in emacs 24, C-s C-y C-s causes a (usually failing) search for whatever was last killed; instead, to get the desired behavior, I must do C-s M-s C-e C-s Is there an easy way to make my init.el (aka .emacs) tell emacs 24 that I want the old semantics for this usecase? Alternatively, how best/easiest to restore the old behavior? TIA, Tom Roche
