                               SEARCHING

  FORWARD SEARCH   When you press this key, you will be  prompted  for
           the  text to search for.  Terminate it with the RETURN key.
           The  search  is from the current cursor location to the end
           of the file.

  REVERSE SEARCH   Same as forward search except it is in the  reverse
           direction.  The search  is from the current cursor location
           to the beginning of the file.

When you are prompted for the search text:  if  you  just  press RETURN  without
preceding  it  with  a text, EMACS searches for the previously searched for text
(independent of the DIRECTION of your previous search).

You can include spaces in search texts.   You  can  include  a  RETURN  in  your
search  text by preceding it with a CONTROL-X Q (quote_command).  This is useful
in searching for texts at the beginnings or ends of lines.

See  the  documentation  on  the  following  commands:  case?  case_on  case_off
case_replace?  case_replace_on and case_replace_off .
