Hi folks,

 Sorry to disturb everyone, but there is a behavior in elinks that I find a bit 
hassling. When you are doing search ahead in text, and you press <ENter>, you 
expect the cursor to be focused on that particular word, but elinks seems to 
follow the nearest link. I think this is actually a spill over of similar 
behavior in 'search-ahead-in-links', where actually this behavior makes a lot 
of sense. That is, in search-ahead-in-links, it is actually proper that an 
<Enter> will make Elinks load that Url, but this behavior really hurts when you 
are doing search-ahead-in-text. Especially since normal editors like vim will 
just focus on the word.

 The idea when you do a search is mostly for cut and paste, or to read that 
part of the code. I would like to know if this can be fixed. Most likely it is 
an oversight and the behavior in the case of 'search-in-links' just spilled 
over to 'search-in-text', and it would be easy to fix this.

 Thanks in advance.
