Submitting `/` keeps each caret in place if it is at or inside an occurrence of the query; otherwise, it moves that caret to the next match, wrapping as needed. This also applies to an empty submission repeating the previous query. Use `n`/`N` to explicitly move to the next/previous match.
Normal `*` highlights the primary caret's word without moving any caret when it selects a new query or changes the matching mode. Pressing `*` again for the same active word navigates forward; counts such as `2*` then skip to the requested occurrence, with every caret searching the primary word from its own position. Selecting a different word starts a new highlight-only search. It uses the same Unicode letters/digits/underscore boundaries as `w`, so `cat` skips `scatter`, `cat_cat`, and `cat2`. If the caret is not on a keyword, it takes the next keyword on that line; with none, it uses the punctuation run under or after the caret as a literal substring. A blank remainder reports no word and preserves the previous search. This also works in read-only diff text. Bind `config.core.search_word` to remap it.

`n`/`N` and an empty `/` submission retain the whole-word setting; a nonempty `/` query returns to literal substring search. Cancelling `/` preserves both the previous query and its matching behavior.
Normal-mode Escape hides search highlights without forgetting the query or matching mode. The next `*` re-highlights without moving; `n`/`N` or submitting `/` resumes navigation and restores highlighting. Escape used to cancel a prompt, selection, or pending motion keeps its existing behavior.
Normal-mode Escape hides search highlights without forgetting the query or matching mode. The next `*` reactivates highlighting, staying put only when at or inside a match; `n`/`N` or submitting `/` resumes navigation and restores highlighting. Escape used to cancel a prompt, selection, or pending motion keeps its existing behavior.
Submitting an empty search repeats the last query. Esc cancels without moving the cursor or replacing the previous query/match. A missing match reports the query and leaves the cursor unchanged; searching without a previous query also leaves the cursor unchanged. Search never edits text or adds undo history. Buffer edits and undo/redo retain the query and recompute its visible highlights, so subsequent navigation searches the current text again.
