I noticed some interesting behavior with the org-goto-local-search-headings function in Emacs 23.1.1.
If you call the function before doing an incremental search, searching forward fails. If you call it after doing an incremental search the function will search forward. A quick look at the code showed that it only does a forward search if isearch-forward is defined. This is both a variable and a function in isearch.el, and the variable isearch-forward is set to nil until you do a search. The following patch against the current orgmode removes the dependency on isearch-forward and will now search forward first, if it doesn't find anything will search backward from the original point. I *think* this is the behavior that was intended. diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el index dd34816..1e9aad3 100644 --- a/lisp/org.el +++ b/lisp/org.el @@ -5801,8 +5801,7 @@ or nil."
