However, I made more changes to isearch.el before Hrvoje> and after that, and I'm not sure if the patch can stand on its own. It can't, but I anticipated that based on the number of your isearch related patches that showed up in my search. :) So I played with just applying the location of isearch-push-state change in isearch-ring-adjust, which seemed to fix it for forward searching but it was still broken for backwards searching. Haven't investigated further yet... Thanks, Chuck -- Charles K.
