I've been doing this for some time. Performance is fine and for most strings behaviour is the same as string search. (unless you frequently search for periods or pluses I guess.) When I first tried the incremental regexp search, I thought it was pretty neat that emacs highlighted the subsequent matches in addition to the current. I'm not sure I could name another editor that does that. -- Stuart --001636499ba1fcfac6048ae17580 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
