user responses for queries. The argument @var{map}, if
non-@code{nil}, specifies a keymap to use instead of
@code{query-replace-map}.
This function uses one of two functions to search for the next
occurrence of @var{from-string}. These functions are specified by the
values of two variables: @code{replace-re-search-function} and
@code{replace-search-function}. The former is called when the
argument @var{regexp-flag} is non-@code{nil}, the latter when it is
@code{nil}.
