it is not possible to use, say, backslash or brackets to
escape regex-active characters: `a\.', or `a[.]'.I think this is somewhat fixed now. The messages are not optimal, and the searching seemed quite slow sometimes, but I don't want to spend more time on it now. (As always, better patches welcome from anyone interested in working on Info.) I changed the prompt too. Thanks for the report, Ralf. karl
