And why they can not be saved when emacs was ! invoked with -Q. Menu items should not be that detailed--it is clumsy. + @node Searching for Options + @subsection Searching for Options + + You can search for customization options and groups by name using + regular expressions. The search functions are available in the menus + under Options - Customize Emacs. See also the function + customize-apropos in (@pxref{Specific Customization}). Such small nodes are wasteful and undesirable. @item M-x customize-apropos @key{RET} @var{regexp} @key{RET} Set up a customization buffer with all the variables, faces and groups ! that match @var{regexp}. There are also more specific functions: ! customize-apropos-options, customize-apropos-faces and ! customize-apropos-groups. In a table which is structured as one command per item, it is inconsistent to mention other commands in the same item. I do not see why it is worth documenting customize-apropos-options, etc. customize-apropos seems to be good enough.
