  And to search backwards:

(defun current-word-reverse-search ()
    "search backwards for word under cursor"
    (interactive)
    (word-search-backward (current-word)))

  And, of course, they are bound to keys:

(global-set-key (kbd "s-s") 'current-word-search)
(global-set-key (kbd "s-r") 'current-word-reverse-search)
