You can always play around with bindings not used very often. When I first
ran into the problem (with a Gosling emacs on 4.1), I bound search keys to
esc-s and esc-r (for consistency) and quote-character to cntrl-t, losing the
regular expression searches and rebinding transpose-characters to the unused
esc-t. When I really need to use a regular expression in a search, I do it
with either esc-x or with grep in a compilation window. I admit I'm amazed
at the number of people using cntrl-\ and cntrl-[, but I guess it's all a
matter of individual tastes.
