Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I found this idea on the JED mailinglist:

,----[ Giles Constant <giles@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ]---
| Hiya,
| 
| When using incremental search (ie, ctrl-s) in a large window, sometimes
| the when the cursor jumps to the next occurrence, it's difficult to see
| where it moved to in all the chaos.
| 
| Perhaps it could blink or highlight the line for a second after each
| find?
`----

Maybe this could be combined with the BLINK variable.

Bye, Jörg.
