23.3.50; inconsistent behavior of M-s o in regex isearch |

I started emacs like this: /usr/local/src/emacs23/src/emacs -Q
I then typed C-h r to being up the Emacs manual.
I then typed M-C-s ^ SPC permission. This did what I expected: it moved
point forward until it was just after the word "Permission" on line 23.
I then typed M-s o. I saw a message in the echo area:
Searched 1 buffer; no matches for `^ permission'
This is not what I expected: I instead expected to see an "*Occur*"
buffer appear, showing something like this:
1 match for "^ permission" in buffer: *info*
23: Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this
Now, if I repeat my little repro scenario above, but search instead for
^ SPC + permission -- i.e., if I add a + character after my SPC --
everything works as I expect.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tested it and installed the fix.
