  21    <p>There are two commands for searching through the current source file for a
  22 regular expression.

  24      <dl>
  25 <dt><code>forward-search </code><var>regexp</var><code></code>
  26      <dd><dt><code>search </code><var>regexp</var><code></code>
  27      <dd>The command <code>forward-search </code><var>regexp</var><code></code> checks each line,
  28 starting with the one following the last line listed, for a match for
  29 <var>regexp</var>.  It lists the line that is found.  You can use the
  30 synonym <code>search </code><var>regexp</var><code></code> or abbreviate the command name as
  31 <code>fo</code>.
  32
  33      <br><dt><code>reverse-search </code><var>regexp</var><code></code>
  34      <dd>The command <code>reverse-search </code><var>regexp</var><code></code> checks each line, starting
  35 with the one before the last line listed and going backward, for a match
  36 for <var>regexp</var>.  It lists the line that is found.  You can abbreviate
  37 this command as <code>rev</code>.
