Description: Info-search (`s' command in info) behaves strangely when
the string appears in the info file before first node.
(Was searching for -*-).
Emacs-version: GNU Emacs 18.55
Priority: low
Reproduce-by:
% emacs -q
C-h i (spaces here and below added for clarity)
m e m a c s RET
s - \ * - RET
Emacs now finds the first -*- on the first line of the info file
(before first node) and leaves the entire file visible. It looks like
the command aborts because it can't find the regexp for the beginning
of a node before point. Continuing the search with `s RET' finds the
closing -*- on the same line. Again continuing with `s RET' returns
to the first -*- on the same line.
Continuing with `s RET' for about ten times (might me random, I didn't
do extensive testing) it suddenly does continue the search and finds
the next occurrence of -*- in the file.
