Often times I find that I want to jump to another occurrence of the word-under-point, almost always variables or functions. I end up going to the beginning of the word with M-b, doing isearch-forward with C-s, adding all the words until the full word is the search term with C-w a bunch of times, and finally C-s to jump around to other instances of it.

Is there a better way to do this?
