Some people like non-incremental search.  I would like it, too, if I
were on a slow dial-up link.

BTW, you might want to try C-s RET C-w which is word search.  Quite
useful, I think.

Use C-s C-j abc to search for a newline followed by abc.  C-j is
newline, remember.  On Un*x systems, C-m is NOT newline.
