Subject: Please add a hook for `isearch-process-search-string'
Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 01:53:07 +0200

There is AFAICS no way to currently trigger actions when isearch
search string changes.

I think it would be useful to have a hook for this. Some things that
you could do would for example

- Sync with external apps (I currently want to sync with display in Firefox).

- Show matches in buffers displayed in other windows on the same frame
could sometimes be useful.


Could we please add such a hook? I think the place to run it is in
`isearch-process-search-string'.

Thanks, but I am not sure... ;-)

It mentions a hook named isearch-update-post-hook. I can't find any
such hook. Is it there? What does it do?

It was reverted due to the feature freeze:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/121172/focus=121190

It could be reinstalled now.

I think it does what you want.

Sounds good (but I proposed the change for using
isearch-process-search-string with the purpose to make such a patch to
be possible/simple).

It seems `isearch-update-post-hook' is better than a hook
for `isearch-process-search-string', no?

Ah thanks, yes. You are right. I just did not find it.
