25.0.50; Isearch "char-fold" by default |

Using Isearch under Emacs 25.0 really puzzles me.
First, the default behavior seems changed, and I'm not really aware
(yet) of what exactly "char folding" is. I did not found any definition
for this, even if I have some ideas.
Second, I don't think the new default is right. I prefer to search for
text, not for regexps by default. Otherwise, we could also invert `C-s'
and `C-M-s', right?
Finally, it *seems* buggy to me when using `C-w' to complete the search
pattern (or shouldn't we use that anymore?).
Try it with the following example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; some function
(turn-on-orgstruct++)
;; other function
(anzu--turn-on)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
As you can see on http://www.screencast.com/t/wx7r9UYK:
- Completing "turn" with `C-w' will go over the 2 last "+" signs as if
they did not exist. In Emacs 24, each "+" char was added one by one.
- Completing "anzu" with `C-w' will simplify the 2 "-" signs as being
just 1, making the search find no string at the end!
- Completing "zu" with `C-w' will add "zu" to the pattern, multiple
times...
Isearch becomes quite complex to use IMHO.
PS- BTW, Anzu seems completely lost in Org files, when now run from
Emacs 25.
Best regards,
Seb

No objections within 4 weeks, so I'm closing this now.
