My files have a lot of characters with the 8th bit on (they are APL
programs in a 256 character alphabet). re-search-forward fails to find
patterns involving the meta characters (except for the trivial pattern of a
single character -- that does work). I have tried various alternatives
like making a complement character set [^^A-^?] and so on, but none of them
work.
I have earlier reported a related bug with incremental search. One cannot
search for strings containing meta characters with incremental search
although non-incremental search works fine.
