Works ok for me, thanks.

I wonder however if we should similarly also update/improve the manual
page about symbol search.  In particular, this sentence seems to speak
about lax matching:

  "In incremental symbol search, only the beginning of the search string
  is required to match the beginning of a symbol."

but as it stands, the sentence is false - this is only true while still
adding characters to the input.


Thanks,

Michael.
