In my opinion, incremental search is a major selling factor of Emacs
-- it's always one of the first things I show people, when introducing
them to Emacs, and which most people tend to understand very quickly.
On the other hand, regular expressions are seldom something new users
will be using. So, I think an even better layout would be:
Edit
Search > Forward...
Backward...
Forward Incremental...
Backward Incremental...
-----------------------
Repeat Forward
Repeat Backward
-----------------------
Search Tagged Files...
Continue Search
-----------------------
Regexp Search > Forward...
Backward...
Forward Incremental...
Backward Incremental...
Replace > Replace String...
Replace Regexp...
-----------------------
Replace in tagged files
Continue replace
i.e., with all search and isearch commands on level 2 and regexp on
level 3.
(I would even put incremental search at the top, persuading new users
to try it out -- but that's not overly important).
