Hi Karl,
IOW, the keywords in the header are not part of the manual content, so
they
should not be searchable
Or "Menu", presumably, or "Note", or the other special Info keywords,
that is, when they're used as keywords.
Yes...and no. It is only inappropriate behavior for occurrences that are
_not part of the Info text_. "Node", for instance, in a header should not
be findable.
"Note" and "Menu" are debatable: One could argue that, although a Note is a
structural (navigational) element, it is useful to be able to search for the
next Note. However, TAB does that; it takes you to the next Note or next
menu item, so there is no need to use `s' to search for "Note" or "Menu"
(when that is used to indicate a note or a menu, and is not strictly part of
the manual text).
I understand your argument, but I'm not sure I fully agree. In any
case, it's not something I want to spend time on.
I understand. Me neither.
