And if you are not hitting such a key before using `C-s', then it's
likely that something in your init file (~/.emacs) is causing this.
It should not happen if you start Emacs without your init file:
`emacs -Q'.

If there is no such problem with `emacs -Q' then bisect your init file
recursively until you locate the culprit code: comment out half of it,
then 1/4, then 1/8,... until you narrow it down.  You can use command
`comment-region' to comment and uncomment (with `C-u') the region.
(I bind it to `C-;'.)
