I mean if you're looking at:
`C-k'
Kill to the end of the line (`kill-line').
and you want to see if the manual says anything else about kill-line. Then
putting the cursor on the last k and doing C-s C-s makes i-search search for
kill-line'.

I guess I never use M-f, but I notice that the help buffer treats apostrophes
as punctuation.
