^s^w - search for word

^s Alt-y - search for copied text
=====================
If C-s doesn’t work because C-s is “stop output”, do the following:
M-x enable-flow-control
Then use C-\ instead of C-s, and C-^ instead of C-q
auto-fill-mode
C-q C-l – to enter control-l
|
Alt-% oldstr RET newstr RET.
| Space, y |
replace oldstr with newstr. |
| Delete, n |
skip to the next occurrence

| Enter, Esc, q |
exit without any more replacements. |
| . (period) |
replace this occurrence and exit. |
| ^ |
go back to the location of the
previous occurrence if you changed it. |
| ! |
replace all remaining occurrences
