Hello
for years I have searched for non ascii symbols like ä (using an
us-keyboards) as follows>
C-s
(F5 which is bound to iso-accents-mode)
and then typing in the search "a gives ä.
Now I just found out that GNU emacs works differently.
you use quail, set-input-method (say) latin-1-prefix and then even if
you use isearch typing "a gives ä.
however this does not work in Xemacs. (I could use the international
keyboard provided by my Xserver, but I don't like this solution.
any comments?

Yeah, unfortunately their implementation is an ugly hack (on top of
isearch which is a wonderful idea but an ugly hack as an
implementation), and was never ported.

No, it doesn't work. There's no alternative at the moment AFAIK,
although Aidan might have something. (Give him a couple of days, and
if he doesn't respond, maybe you could ping him directly.)
It's never been pressing for me personally because the GUI's input
method works fine for me, and usually search-forward or
re-search-forward is just as efficient (Japanese input by character is
very inefficient, it's much more efficient by word). If Aidan doesn't
have something, maybe I'll take a look at it in a couple of weeks (I
need to work on moving our web services off of the current host first,
though).

There are a couple of inconvenience with the GUI solution (some of them
are based on my personal preferences)
- the US ascii keyboard is "hard-wired" into my brain which makes a
Spanish or German GUI keyboard difficult to use for me.
- the US-international layout is much better, however typing "s
does not give ß but I have to bind it to alt-gr s. Moreover ' and
` are dead keys but I need them in auctex.
- if I use hebrew[1] all control keys combination do not work!
BTW iso-accents mode seems to me a bit faster than the quail latin-1-pre
method, I wonder why.

Uwe Brauer
Footnotes:
[1] since Xemacs does not have real bidi support I rarely do this. Jeff
gtk xemacs provides it but is still to buggy for me to use. However
I hope to have time to install never GTK version and try at least
to give him feedback.

I just found out that mule-base ships isearch-mule, which seems quite
outdated and contains the following line
(provide 'isearch-ext)
May be this pkg should be removed?

Does it work? (require 'isearch-ext "isearch-mule")
