@cindex searching for non-@acronym{ASCII} characters
@cindex input method, during incremental search
To enter non-@acronym{ASCII} characters in an incremental search,
-you must use an input method (@pxref{Input Methods}). If an input
-method is enabled in the current buffer when you start the search, you
-can use it while you type the search string also. Emacs indicates
-that by including the input method mnemonic in its prompt, like this:
+you can use @kbd{C-q} (see the previous section), but it is easier to
+use an input method (@pxref{Input Methods}). If an input method is
+enabled in the current buffer when you start the search, you can use
+it in the search string also. Emacs indicates that by including the
+input method mnemonic in its prompt, like this:
@example
I-search [@var{im}]:
@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-^}
+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. The input method you enable during
incremental search remains enabled in the current buffer afterwards.
