Subject: isearch and region ?
Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2017 16:39:02 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DC555F77-DDAD-42E0-B2E3-0964D9548C88@gmail.com> (raw)

I would like to know why isearch has been designed so that it does not create a region with the matching string. The thing that appears in the buffer looks like a region, but it is not, and that keeps the user from immediately interacting with the matching string (deleting, overwriting, killing or yanking, etc.)
