Subject: 23.1.50; can't search 8-bit byte on unibyte buffer
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 00:34:14 +0900

I wrote code for search 8-bit byte on unibyte buffer like a
followings. but emacs says `search failed'. It's a bug?

    (with-temp-buffer
      (set-buffer-multibyte nil)
      (insert (make-string 1 ?\xff))
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (search-forward (make-string 1 ?\xff)))

It seems somewhat odd, at least.  However, it probably isn't a bug.  The
`insert' will insert the 0xff byte into the buffer, but
`(make-string 1 ?\xff)' will create a multibyte string, which will, of
course, not be found in the buffer.

I think.

This is the same as #9458 which is already fixed.

But the fix isn't on the trunk yet, I guess?
