Show HN: A New Basic Vim Motion

How is this better or different than incremental search? Incremental search means it jumps to the first match as soon as you start typing after '/': you don't need to press enter.

Try this combination of options to get functionality similar to emacs's C-s:

:set ignorecase :set smartcase :set incsearch

I've had exactly these three settings for a while, and I've just tested and incsearch didn't take to the match without enter. It's a great feature though, but I don't think I'd want it to take me, it would always fire early, say if I would be typing 'th' it would go to 'the' when really I had wanted 'though' some words next.
