What I am seeing is what looks like a region (and except for the active match, all the others are highlighted exactly as a region would be), but it doesn't act like a region. So there is a UI promise that's broken. Does this imply that in a read-only buffer, there must be no highlighting of the match for you not to say the UI is broken? You cannot act on the text there. Or, in a read-only buffer, is it good that the match(es) are highlighted?
