Question

On editing, I can use command+c and command+v to copy and paste words on MacOS.
However, when I want to search some word, I copy the word from other,
then, I use c-s and want to paste the word by command+v.

but it shows mark set..but not paste the word.
So, How can I paste word when I push c-s?

Thanks

In the isearch minibuffer, you can use M-y (option-y on Mac) to paste text to the end of the search string. It runs isearch-yank-kill. For more details, please refer to http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/IncrementalSearch.
