Avy should merge/replace with the classic '/' search command.

The search command should be replaced by avy, save the letter n and N to keep the native next and last motion and appart from that just replace every first char in matches by a letter that you just have to hit to jump to it. Basically merge all the commands avy-goto-char, word, line into just the search matches.

Maybe it would just be sufficient to add a little thing to the search function : if search string is 1 char long then avy-goto-char, and av-goto-word otherwise

For the search results that are off screen it would just react like the search command.

Disagree, these two things are too different.

Yeah this doesn't sound great, I don't want my searching to behave completely different just based on what I'm looking for is visible or not.

I'm not convinced at all that your suggested implementation even works.
