2010/7/12 Qiang Guo<mcknight0219@gmail.com>:You may want to check variable 'isearch-allow-scroll'This is a good suggestion. But you may also want to know about "M-s o". M-s o runs the command occur, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `replace.el'. It is bound to M-s o. (occur REGEXP&optional NLINES) Show all lines in the current buffer containing a match for REGEXP. This function can not handle matches that span more than one line.
Thanks for the answers and sorry for the multiple messages, the M-s o is very useful, but the isearch-allow-scroll doesn't work very well with me. It will conserve the search if I do C-l or C-v, but won't if I use the mouse scroll wheel or if I use the arrow keys to move the cursor (which are the way I scroll the screen mostly). I want something that works similar to the Linux man search, the vim or the gedit, that conserves the highlight as long as the search is erased. Any other suggestions?
