To do repeated word-search-forward
C-s RET
INPUT
afterwards you can repeat it with `s' while keeping \C
pressed - similar to isearch
The same with search-forward-regexp
To switch off `i'-search
do
C-M-s RET
and to repeat the search
just keep C-M pressed, while repeating `s',
It's similar to C-s - search.
(Use M-n or M-p to load previous search strings)
