Sorry Drew,

There was a mistake in my mail, I did not mean "C-sC-w" but I meant 
"C-sC-w". I tested it again and it does not work.

That you for the information on the incremental word search 
("C-sM-eC-w"). I tested it on the same node, and whether I terminate by 
"C-s" or  by "" it fails in the same way. To tell you the truth, I 
had not even tried that, as the plain non incremental one was not 
working in the first place.

Regards,
       Vincent.
