(apropos-match-face): Doc fix. (apropos-sort-by-scores): Add new choice `verbose'. (apropos-documentation-sort-by-scores): New defcustom. (apropos-pattern): Now contains the pattern entered by the user. (apropos-pattern-quoted): New defvar. (apropos-regexp): New defvar, containing the regexp corresponding to apropos-pattern. (apropos-all-words-regexp): Renamed from apropos-all-regexp. (apropos-read-pattern): New defun. Use it to read pattern arg in interactive calls; returns list of words for a word list, and string for a regexp. (apropos-parse-pattern): Renamed from apropos-rewrite-regexp. Now parses a list of words or regexp as returned by apropos-read-pattern. (apropos-calc-scores): Return nil if apropos-regexp doesn't match. (apropos-score-doc): Return a very high score if the string entered by the user matches literally. (apropos-variable): Doc fix. Use apropos-read-pattern. (apropos-command): Doc fix. Use apropos-read-pattern and apropos-parse-pattern. Call apropos-print with nosubst=t. (apropos, apropos-value): Doc fix. Use apropos-read-pattern and apropos-parse-pattern. (apropos-documentation): Doc fix. Use apropos-read-pattern and apropos-parse-pattern. Locally bind apropos-sort-by-scores to apropos-documentation-sort-by-scores. Call apropos-print with nosubst=t. (apropos-documentation-internal): Pass doc string through substitute-key-definition before adding text properties. Highlight substring matching literal user input if possible. (apropos-documentation-check-doc-file): Remove locals beg and end. Fix calculation of score (as added twice). Pass doc string through substitute-key-definition before adding text properties. (apropos-documentation-check-elc-file): Pass doc string through substitute-key-definition before adding text properties. Highlight substring matching literal user input if possible. (apropos-print): Add new arg NOSUBST; if set, command and variable doc strings have already been passed through substitute-key-definition. Add code to handle apropos-accumulator items without score element for backwards compatibility (e.g. with woman package). Only show scores if apropos-sort-by-scores is `verbose'.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-e in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
