I object not. Well, only to the unwrapped lines. ;)

You could use Esc to get out of the search dialog, but that will cause
the text not to be added to the search history.

THANK YOU!

World, are there any objections to changing this behaviour?

[elinks-users] Enter following links while searching ahead in text

2006-07-20 Thread Ligesh

 Hi folks,

 Sorry to disturb everyone, but there is a behavior in elinks that I find a bit 
hassling. When you are doing search ahead in text, and you press , you 
expect the cursor to be focused on that particular word, but elinks seems to 
follow the nearest link. I think this is actually a spill over of similar 
behavior in 'search-ahead-in-links', where actually this behavior makes a lot 
of sense. That is, in search-ahead-in-links, it is actually proper that an 
 will make Elinks load that Url, but this behavior really hurts when you 
are doing search-ahead-in-text. Especially since normal editors like vim will 
just focus on the word.

 The idea when you do a search is mostly for cut and paste, or to read that 
part of the code. I would like to know if this can be fixed. Most likely it is 
an oversight and the behavior in the case of 'search-in-links' just spilled 
over to 'search-in-text', and it would be easy to fix this.

 Thanks in advance.
