(Isearch Scroll): Add example of using the `isearch-scroll' property.

(Slow Isearch): Reference anchor for `baud-rate' instead of entire
`Display Custom' node.
(Regexp Replace): Put text that requires Emacs Lisp knowledge last
and de-emphasize it.
(Other Repeating Search): `occur' currently can not correctly
handle multiline matches.  Correct, clarify and update description
of `flush-lines' and `keep-lines'.

You can make other commands usable within an incremental search by
giving the command a non-@code{nil} @code{isearch-scroll} property.
For example, to make @kbd{C-h l} usable within an incremental search
in all future Emacs sessions, use @kbd{C-h c} to find what command it
runs. (You type @kbd{C-h c C-h l}; it says @code{view-lossage}.) Then

Delete each line that contains a match for @var{regexp}, operating on
the text after point. In Transient Mark mode, if the region is
active, the command operates on the region instead.
This command deletes each line that contains a match for @var{regexp},
operating on the text after point; it deletes the current line
if it contains a match starting after point. In Transient Mark mode,
if the region is active, the command operates on the region instead;
it deletes a line partially contained in the region if it contains a
match entirely contained in the region.
If a match is split across lines, @code{flush-lines} deletes all those
lines. It deletes the lines before starting to look for the next
match; hence, it ignores a match starting on the same line at which
another match ended.

This command deletes each line that @emph{does not} contain a match for
@var{regexp}, operating on the text after point; if point is not at the
beginning of a line, it always keeps the current line. In Transient
Mark mode, if the region is active, the command operates on the region
instead; it never deletes lines that are only partially contained in
the region (a newline that ends a line counts as part of that line).
If a match is split across lines, this command keeps all those lines.
