Is it possible to expand to the current word when searchin in Emacs.
For example I did c-s and typed 'def'. I know stand with the cursor on
'DefinedFunction13'. This is the string I want to search for. Is it
possible to expand the searchstring to this word, without typing it in?

Type C-s C-w, and Emacs will automatically search for word at point.
You don't even need to type 'def'.

That works. I'll like Emacs more and more. :-}
I only started using Emacs a short while ago. I wanted to do it earlier, but
'everyone' told me it was to difficult and I should stick with vim. I
should not have listened.
Yesterday I saw something about Gnus. I'll need to look into that also.
