I miss this when I use Emacs. That's an interesting idea. I think for my use case, both "store the aborted search string" and "store the successful part of the aborted search" would work fine and would be an improvement over the current situation. > On the other hand, it's really not good enough. XEmacs doesn't permit > editing of the searched string once it's been recalled with C-s C-s, Emacs does not allow editing it via DEL (tho I use a local patch that does), but it can still be edited via M-e.
