While reading this thread, I realised that I never use the extra
keybindings that are available during isearch. As the good Emacs user that
I claim to be, I decided to check what bindings are available.

Thus, I typed ‘C-s M-s ?’

At this point, I expected to get documentation for the keybindings for the
prefix M-s but instead I was presented with a list of “Global Bindings
Starting With M-s:”

Why did that happen? I would call this a bug, but does others agree?

Regards,
Elias
