    I would hesitate to do this only for the case if there was no previous
    isearch string, because it will be natural to expect the isearch
    string to be duplicated from `s' always, even when there is a previous
    isearch string.

You're right, Juri. It was just a thought. It would probably not be a good
idea to do it systematically, in any case - it's handy to have two different
search strings available at any time.

Another possibility would be to have an isearch binding that would retrieve
the last Info-search string (regexp). That would be more useful generally,
and would not eliminate the possibility of using two different search
strings.

Anyway, it's a detail, and for after the release. Thanks. - Drew
