From Emacsc -Q:

1. Open the info node "(elisp)Association List Type".
2. Try to search for the word "see" (C-s see <RET>).

Surprisingly, the search fails, even though the word exists in the
buffer (beginning of last paragraph).

If I move the cursor to that word and type `C-x =', I see:

Char: * (42, #o52, #x2a, part of display "*Not..."->"See ")
point=123845 of 300271 (41%) <123062-124062> column=3

I don't understand want's going on here, but it seems undesirable to
see a word in the buffer and not be able to search for it.
