People cannot look for string "0"?

Instead, set this to 'undef' and check with:

	if (defined $search_string) {
        	...

in the later part of the code.

Style.

    (1) SP between language construct and open parenthesis, as opposed to
        no extra SP between function name and open parenthesis;

    (2) No extra SP around what is enclosed in parentheses.

No help text added to help people discover this new feature?

The interactive help prompt is hard to read because '/' is used to
separate choices.  I'd suggest to make this into two patches:

Patch 1/2 would change use of '/' to ',' so that this:

    Stage this hunk [y/n/a/d/j/J/e/?]?

becomes

    Stage this hunk [y,n,a,d,j,J,e,?]?

Patch 2/2 would be a fix-up of the patch you sent.

Thanks.
