    Make the documentation of the search functions more accurate,
    complete, and uniform; in particular, extend the description of
    the effect when the 'count' parameter is a negative number to all
    of these functions.
    
    * src/search.c (Fsearch_backward, Fsearch_forward)
    (Fre_search_backward, Fre_search_forward)
    (Fposix_search_backward, Fposix_search_forward):
    * lisp/isearch.el (word-search-backward, word-search-forward)
    (word-search-backward-lax, word-search-forward-lax): Improve doc
    strings as described above.
    
    * doc/lispref/searching.texi (String Search, Regexp Search)
    (POSIX Regexps): Use 'count' instead of 'repeat' as the name of
    the fourth parameter of the *-search-{forward,backward} functions
    and improve documentation as described above.
