Sounds fine to me. Short and intuitive. (It could be even shorter if you write only the first slash, because every single character on its right side would represent an individual flag. E.g.: "Isearch/wc") >> I'd like to mention that a bad consequence of this approach is that >> the prompt string would have a variable length, so that the search >> string would not be shown in a stable position, making harder for the >> user to concentrate on it. > > We're talking about switches which usually are not changed during > the search. Yes, the ones that appear often during the search and those related to the status of the current search ("(over)wrapped", "failing", etc). -- Dani Moncayo
