diff man/search.texi @ 64148:a77d510ff94d

(Isearch Scroll): Add example of using the `isearch-scroll' property. (Slow Isearch): Reference anchor for `baud-rate' instead of entire `Display Custom' node. (Regexp Replace): Put text that requires Emacs Lisp knowledge last and de-emphasize it. (Other Repeating Search): `occur' currently can not correctly handle multiline matches. Correct, clarify and update description of `flush-lines' and `keep-lines'.
