By people who are too lazy to read the manual, I guess.
| Incremental Search
| ==================
...

| grab text from the buffer into the search string. This makes it
| convenient to search for another occurrence of text at point. `C-w'
| copies the word after point as part of the search string, advancing
| point over that word. Another `C-s' to repeat the search will then
| search for a string including that word. `C-y' is similar to `C-w' but
| copies all the rest of the current line into the search string. Both
| `C-y' and `C-w' convert the text they copy to lower case if the search
| is currently not case-sensitive; this is so the search remains
| case-insensitive.
* I would like to have sort of an incremental search - but starting
automatically with the "current" word, so I don't have to type it in...
For example, if my cursor stands on beginning of word foo below:
int foo() { ....
Typing a "new-magic-key" should automatically perform a forward isearch
using foo.
C-s C-w
