Agreed. The current implementation looks clean and I'm sure I can get
used to it the next weeks.

Being force to press three key to move one step forward or backward is
too expensive. As long as you can press M-f or M-b to break out of the
search the implementation is okay - To break out I mostly use: RET,
C-SPC, M-f or M-b, or - yes - arrow-left or arrow-right.

yes, but I think it is more important that having found the first
occurance of the (beginning of) string you can press several C-f in a
row to extent the search string; that less error prone than being force
to enter all the different letters: k-i-n-d-e-r-g-a-r-t-e-n. Yes, I
know, you can complete the search word using C-w; but often, you are not
interested in the complete word and thus you cannot make use of C-w.
