[comp.emacs] MicroEmacs 3.10 search problem

leilabd@syma.sussex.ac.uk (Leila Burrell-Davis) (09/02/89)

I have an additional binding for the quote character to CTRL/^ in
uemacs 3.10 because CTRL/Q isn't always available, depending on the
route I take to my machine.

I have noticed that the rebound quote character doesn't work in search
strings (it does in the text), although ^Q does. This means that most
of the time I can't search for ^G, ^H, or my string terminator.

Has anyone noticed this - fixed it? (It also occurs in version 3.9e)

	Yes, I fixed this in the development sources about 5 weeks ago.
 It will come out with the new version when it is ready.
