You miss the point: if the diehard ^S lovers were willing to MOVE
search, then this religious war would have ceased being a problem
YEARS ago: ^S would have long since been back in the realm of
terminal-control-chars.  The whole point of the
I-can't-live-without-search-on-^S crowd is that they WANT SEARCH ON
^S... 

now, someone suggested that one might be able to have his cake
and eat it, too, by letting the ^S/^Q stuff stay hidden in the terminal
control protocol and 'fixing' your terminal to send something else
when you hold-down-the-CTRL-key-and-hit-S.  I was only pointing out
that as far as I've been able to puzzle out, even THAT doesn't work,
because you still can't get the "research-forward" control to use your
new sequence.
