And if you are not hitting such a key before using `C-s', then it's likely that something in your init file (~/.emacs) is causing this. It should not happen if you start Emacs without your init file: `emacs -Q'. If there is no such problem with `emacs -Q' then bisect your init file recursively until you locate the culprit code: comment out half of it, then 1/4, then 1/8,... until you narrow it down. You can use command `comment-region' to comment and uncomment (with `C-u') the region. (I bind it to `C-;'.)
