I don't understand what do you propose. Currently the error message is already before the prompt and looks like: Failing I-search backward: bar but overwrites the minibuffer content. With `minibuffer-message' it looks like: I-search backward: foo [Failing I-search backward: bar] If necessary, we can make the error message shorter like: I-search backward: foo [Failing: bar] Anyway, to show the failed search string is more important than the minibuffer content. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
