Searching for word under cursor

Searching for word under cursor

[Farhan Ahmed]

Is there a command to invoke a search for the word currently under the
cursor?

It'll be helpful in finding other instances of a token I am currently at.

Thanks,

Farhan

this actually yanks text from the cursor position to the first non-word
character, so if you want to search the entire word you're on, you have to put
the cursor on the first character.

btw: C-s C-h brings up a help function for incremental search.
