Can't cancel search with single escape press

[bmckgeorge]

Often I want to cancel a search and return to my original cursor position (before pressing enter to go to first match.) With incsearch.vim, I have to press escape and then wait for a second for the search to get cancelled.

Press j or k or something whatever after pressing esc. it should work.

Like in default vim still works to cancel a search
