:-) I was just pointing at the fact that saying Emacs is a text editor is
merely marketing...

Interesting. When I do that on one of my local files (with an emacs I built a
few days ago) I do get the current match highlighted in purple and the other
matches highlighted in blue (after testing a region is highlighted in a
slightly different color). The cursor is blinking at the end of the first match.
So it looks as I wrote: this looks like a region, with a cursor blinking where
point it, but it does not act as one.
What matters here is not the color, but the fact that point has moved and
something that looks like a region is formed. Hence the expectation. And
really, if that "object" exists on screen, I'd love to be able to capture it
somehow.
