Well, for that several people will have to say that they want this feature.
And even then, I'm still not sure.  I like it that the match gets highlighted
(just putting the cursor on the first character of the match, as is done
in a normal search, is quite poor), but I don't like it that the screen
"jumps around" while I type the search string...  Also, is there anything
you can do with incremental search that you can't do with a normal search?
Does it add anything other than a different behavior?

Good.  But the patch is still lacking a commit message.  Explain in a few
sentences what your patch does and how it accomplishes that.
