[Vimperator] various idiosyncracies(?) with searching

[Jeffrey 'jf' Lim]

First of all, let me say that vimperator is really a great job, and
seriously, if I were to code it myself (if I ever would), I would have
missed out on a lot of the good stuff that's already been
implemented...

Now on to the searching:

- it seems that searching is by default 'set incsearch'. That can be a
little bit confusing/inconvenient, especially when it comes to typos.
("Wait! I didn't mean that letter, I meant this. Can you go back and
start searching again?"). Is there a way to do a 'set nois'?

- whereas vim always searches from "the current cursor location",
vimperator does not, and always "resumes search from the last search
result". What if I do a search, 'n' through all the results.. discover
halfway that what I want is up in the higher part of the document
instead? I cannot go back to a previous mark (or to the top of the
page), and do an 'n' again. I have to cycle through ALL 'n's to get
back to where I want the actual search to take place.
