    Not being an emacs user, what is the "de" for above?

    Hm, it seems to take 2 entries of Ctrl-s to begin the search??
    No, it takes 2 entries of Ctrl-s to display the "isearch:" prompt,
    but entering one Ctrl-s + a string will display it also.

    Anyway, I am having trouble getting the USB drivers example to work.
