I guess this is because clicking mouse button with the code

(let ((cursor-in-echo-area t))
    (read-event))

always returns an event where the buffer position is 1.

PS: I already suggested trying an alternative solution that gets rid of
using `read-event', and binds C-w to a new command in the minibuffer
for editing the search string.
