My use case of isearch-word is mainly short words, e.g. variable names
such as f in f(x) in latex. I'd guess that's a pretty common pattern.
Even for long words, I think an user would type a word quickly, and be
confused that their first match is not really a match. That offsets the
potential jumpiness (ie what happens when the user is typing the word)
for me.
