Hi.

First of all, thanks for this package. I think it is really useful. The space-based regular expression matching is very handy at any time.
I use swiper in place of the native search system in emacs.

However, there's a couple of features that I miss:

  • Search should be made cyclic. Once you have reached the end of the list of occurrences, the user should be notified with something like "end of list" and, if the user keeps pressing C-s or C-n, the app should take her back to the first occurrence.
    This is applicable to both forward-searches and backward-searches.
  • Backward searching seems a bit counter-intuitive. Let's say that the point is at the very end of the document. If you try to search backwards, it performs a forward search, instead, and starting the search at the very beginning of the document.

I think these two features are quite important, since that is the native behavior of the emacs search system, and I believe it helps users a lot.

Thanks.
-Bob
