search-forward and its relatives always fail when given a repeat count of 0. This, I suppose, is a philosophical issue, but it seems to me that it should always succeed. After all, search-forward can always find any string 0 times. Is there a reason for the current behavior? (BTW, giving search-forward a repeat count of 0 coredumps 18.54 (at least on an RT) but not 18.56. Oddly, re-search-forward didn't have this problem. Try this at your own risk. :-) Barr3y Jaspan
