This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation, not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the [email protected] mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: This is a documentation bug report for isearch-forward and isearch-forward-regexp. - Describe Key for isearch-forward (i.e. C-h k C-s) does not mention that RET typed immediately after C-s puts you in non-incremental search mode. - Describe Key for isearch-forward-regexp (i.e. C-h k C-M-s) does not mention that you can search for exactly one space character by typing C-q SPC, but does mention that you can use [ ]. The Emacs (not Elisp) info node "19.4 Regular Expression Search" does the reverse: it mentions C-q SPC but not [ ]. The two should be consistent in what they mention. - When I wanted to find out why isearch-forward-regexp was matching multiple spaces when I had typed only one space, the first place I looked was the Emacs info node for regular expresion syntax, "19.5 Syntax of Regular Expressions", but that node says nothing about it. It took me a while to think to look in the previous info node, "19.4 Regular Expression Search". The feature should also be mentioned in info node 19.5. - The variable search-whitespace-regexp is not mentioned in the Emacs Info docs for regular expressions, but is mentioned by Describe Key (C-h k C-M-s). (This is with a relatively recent version of CVS emacs on MS Windows from nqmacs.sourceforge.net, GNU Emacs 22.0.50.2.)
