mr> Would you find it useful to search previous lines, the remainder
mr> of the current line, following lines? Should we skip any
mr> non-whitespace chars?

Principles: always offer at least two default choices, one
forwards/beneath, one backwards/beneath the cursor. The topmost of
which should be the closest to the cursor. Skip past punctuation at
the ends of sentences too...
