Well, true if you're searching for something semantically meaningful.
But C-s <chars I see near the position I want to go to> is the
keyboard analog to pointing with the mouse, and it has the advantage
that things don't even have to be on-screen. For example, if I want
to copy a sexp starting with "(x" I've seen later in the file I often
use "C-s ( x C-r C-k C-y C-u C-SPC".
I call this "What You Saw Is What You Get" navigation, and I way
prefer it to other interpretations of WYSIWYG. ;-)
