I've a strong desire those days: make a _simple_ search within an
info file or in outline-mode.
For example, open the Elisp manual, and search for « local
variables: ». Isearch will then go to every _references_ to the
section Local Variables, and not to every actual match of the
search (_with_ the `:' ).
It's because the search is made on the real text, that's to say, the
whole text without hidden things. Here, references on « Local
Varibles » are of the form « Local Variables: definition of thing »
but just shown as « Local Variables » ; that explains the match.
It's like in outline mode when some hidden subtrees are hidden: when
a search is made, Isearch also searches in the hidden text.
Can I param Isearch to make the search on the literal shown text ?
What version of Emacs are you using?
This problem has, I think, been fixed more than once (;-)) for Emacs 22,
since it has shown its head in several places, including File, Next in the
header and Note, Menu in body text. I don't know if Local Variables has also
been fixed. CCing emacs-devel.
