Feature feedback: partial search acceptance

[aditya siram]

I'm working on a patch to evil where searching for a word with '/' allows
me to stop at a partial match.

For example, given:
"The wor^d I am looking for is abcd".
where '^' represents point, if I type '/' 'abce', 'abc' is highlighted.
When I hit RETURN or C-g I want point to go to the beginning of that
partial match and not jump back to where my search started.

Does this seem like a useful idea?
Thanks!
