That's misleading. There's no "unicode search"; if the variable I added is set to `ucs', it _converts_ a unicode codepoint entered via C-q to Emacs' internal representation; after that, it works exactly like the old C-q. Since I-search (for instance) currently seems to correctly handle, for instance, searching for a latin-1 ä in a latin-2 buffer -- even though the underlying buffer representation is in fact different -- then searching should continue to work correctly even in "unicode C-q mode". [However, I think that character insertion via C-q won't work as the user-expects; for instance, C-q e4 would insert a latin-1 ä even in a unicode-2 buffer -- using the default settings, this situation will get fixed up at file write time, because unify-8859-on-encoding-mode is on by default, but until then, the inconsistent buffer contents might confuse a user.] -Miles -- "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."
