The search terminators should be bindable (like the meta key).  I have
to type ^3 (control-3) on my vt220 terminal for <escape> right now :-(. 
I would rather bind the terminator to something else (like FN^N).  (I use
sys V curses, so I can get 10 function keys and the cursor keys - .emacsrc
takes care of the rest).

We in terminal land don't have control-return, so I don't think it
should be used as a terminator.  I bind the function "hunt-forward" to a
function key (1 keystroke instead of 2 or 3).  (The backwards function is
"hunt-backward"  (Before flaming, see item 4. - he can't RTFM)).

Regular expressions! Gee - I wish - but then again, I only have 3.7 (from
mod.sources).  Can I get sources (I suspect search.c is all that's needed)?
Better yet, could the pattern matching stuff goto either net.sources or
mod.sources?

Happy hacking!
