Auto-unfold subtrees with matches in query-replace (et al.?)

Auto-unfold subtrees with matches in query-replace (et al.?)

[Michael Bach]

Dear org-mode Users and Developers,

When I do a M-% (query-replace) in an org-mode buffer where the relevant 
trees are folded, subtrees with matches are not unfolded.  I am looking 
for a similar behavior as is observed when doing a simple C-s 
(search-forward).

While I am at it: the same applies to a 3-way ediff merge session 
started from magit, namely the `next' difference is not visible because 
of folding.  My solution for now is to fundamental-mode the buffers 
prior to the merging work.

Is there an option for this that I am missing?  (How) Did you solve this?

Best Regards,
Michael

This is a general problem for any mode that allows invisible text,
and there is no generic solution.  "Revealing" invisible text is the
responsability of the major mode, and can be achieved for C-s thanks
to 'isearch-mode-end-hook (see line 5395 in org.el).  But AFAIK there
is no similar hook when query-replacing.  Would be a nice feature
to have -- don't hesitate to report it with M-x report-emacs-bug RET

Done. Thanks for explanation.
