@cindex searching for non-ASCII characters
@cindex input method, during incremental search
If an input method (@pxref{Input Methods}) is turned on in the
current buffer when you start the search, that input method is used to
read the characters while you type the search string. Emacs indicates
that by including the input method mnemonic in its prompt, like this:
@example
I-search [@var{im}]:
@end example
@noindent
@findex isearch-toggle-input-method
@findex isearch-toggle-specified-input-method
where @var{im} is the mnemonic of the active input method. You can
toggle (enable or disable) the input method while you type the search
string with @kbd{C-\} (@code{isearch-toggle-input-method}). You can
turn on a certain (non-default) input method with @kbd{C-^}
(@code{isearch-toggle-specified-input-method}), which prompts for the
name of the input method. Note that the input method you turn on
during incremental search is turned on in the current buffer as well.
If a search is failing and you ask to repeat it by typing another
@kbd{C-s}, it starts again from the beginning of the buffer. Repeating
a failing reverse search with @kbd{C-r} starts again from the end. This
