The manual discussion about how *not* to match non-ascii characters is
silly.  Instead of discussing the bad ways to match non-ascii
characters, I added a note about how to do it properly.

Since the text in question is now deleted, I am closing this bug.

In doc/lispref/searching.texi is the following reference to octal code
`0377' correct?

,----
| You cannot always match all non-@acronym{ASCII} characters with the
| regular expression @code{"[\200-\377]"}.  This works when searching a
| unibyte buffer or string (@pxref{Text Representations}), but not in a
| multibyte buffer or string, because many non-@acronym{ASCII}
| characters have codes above octal 0377.  {....}
`---- :FILE doc/lispref/searching.texi  (info "(elisp)Regexp Special")

Shouldn't that be:

"characters have codes above octal #o377"
