Wouldn't a shorter phrase be valid too: "No more matches"?

All extra info is easy to get using standard commands:
a) point values are easy to get with `C-x ='
b) the previous point with `C-x C-x'
c) the size of the skipped region with `M-='
The only info that is not obvious is the name of another
window compared with the selected window.

Binding `compare-windows' to a single key `C-=' makes it easy
to repeat in a long sequence of its invocations :)
