(emacs)Search


Searching and Replacement
*************************

   Like other editors, Emacs has commands for searching for occurrences
of a string.  The principal search command is unusual in that it is
"incremental"; it begins to search before you have finished typing the
search string.  There are also nonincremental search commands more like
those of other editors.

   Besides the usual `replace-string' command that finds all
occurrences of one string and replaces them with another, Emacs has a
more flexible replacement command called `query-replace', which asks
interactively which occurrences to replace.

Incremental Search: Search happens as you type the string.
Nonincremental Search: Specify entire string and then search.
Word Search: Search for sequence of words.
Regexp Search: Search for match for a regexp.
Regexps: Syntax of regular expressions.
Search Case: To ignore case while searching, or not.
Replace: Search, and replace some or all matches.
Other Repeating Search: Operating on all matches for some regexp.
