You executed a search, it couldn't find the target search $tring, so
it toggled unbidden into Page-Line mode (unless it was there already,
which is a bad place to be with a file having more than the allowable
number of Page Elements -- eight hundred something, I think -- U2 has
thousands and thousands of PEs). This is a genuine bug in Xy4-DOS,
although I think I've seen it in other versions as well. There are
two main solutions: 1) toggle manually into expanded mode and try
again -- it won't repeat that misbehavior; 2) use the alternate SEarch
program in U2, which doesn't have this bug -- i.e. when you launch a
SEarch, just hit  instead of .
