Searching for marked (selected) text in Emacs
emacs, search, text, text-editor
Solution
Yes. `M-W` (to get a copy of the selected text) `C-s <RET> C-y <RET>`. Then repeat `C-s` as needed. Similarly for `C-r`.
Problem
I use emacs for viewing and editing code and other text files. I wanted to know if there is a way to search forward or backward for text which is marked in the current buffer. Similar to what I can do in notepad or wordpad. As in can I mark some text in the buffer and do a C-s or C-r and be able to search with the marked text without actually typing in the whole search text? Thank you, Rohit
