Thanks, everything looks consistent.  If no one will have more comments
during the next few days, it seems safe to assume it's ok to push.

Typing 'M-x search- TAB' shows:

  search-backward
  search-backward-regexp
  search-emacs-glossary
  search-forward
  search-forward-help-for-help
  search-forward-regexp
  search-text-property
  search-unencodable-char

I don't know if 'search-online' could be added here too.
We need more opinions.
