The indication that `,' takes you to the next indexed location for the
search term is good.  But instead of just repeatedly telling you that
there are, say, 98 occurrences total, it should tell you which of those
you are currently on.

E.g., it should show you "(23/27 total; use `,' for next)".  Ideally it
would even indicate that it wraps around - e.g.:

"(27/27 total; use `,' for 1/27)" or "(27/27 total; use `,' for first)"
or something else that indicates that it wraps (cycles).

(Bonus points for also providing a key that cycles in the other
direction.)
