That said, I'm not enough of an Emacs advocate to suggest that other things should adopt its save/search convention. The clumsiness of C-x,C-s only makes sense in the context of the complete set of keybindings, some of which would be chosen differently if done from scratch in the modern world.
(Also, pedantically, Emacs's C-s and Wordpad C-f don't actually do the same thing. The former is marginally more useful !)
