commit 7f92a9302ea189c68377aba20ab846c3b6781590
Author: Michael Heerdegen <michael_heerde...@web.de>
Commit: Michael Heerdegen <michael_heerde...@web.de>
Allow `string' and `symbol' el-search patterns to set match data
The rationale is to allow to use the match data when replacing symbols
and strings via `el-search-query-replace'.
* packages/el-search/el-search.el (el-search--string-matcher): Use
`string-match' instead of `string-match-p.
(symbol): Add to documentation an example of using match data with
query-replace.
