Re: [h-e-w] ishl.el does not work in version 22.1

Hm, I just realized that it was an unnecessary fix I did ;-)

I think this functionality is there already in isearch in Emacs 22. I 
just did not find it at first.

It is controlled by the variable lazy-highlight-cleanup, which can be 
customized. Can you test that and see if it does what you want?
