I started emacs like this: /usr/local/src/emacs23/src/emacs -Q

I then typed C-h r to being up the Emacs manual.

I then typed M-C-s ^ SPC permission.  This did what I expected: it moved
point forward until it was just after the word "Permission" on line 23.

I then typed M-s o. I saw a message in the echo area:

        Searched 1 buffer; no matches for `^ permission'

This is not what I expected: I instead expected to see an "*Occur*"
buffer appear, showing something like this:

    1 match for "^ permission" in buffer: *info*
         23:     Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this

Now, if I repeat my little repro scenario above, but search instead for
^ SPC + permission -- i.e., if I add a + character after my SPC --
everything works as I expect.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I tested it and installed the fix.
