I'm all for it.

vi(1), less(1), and the like all start searching from the current
position, so the new behavior is more "intuitive", in the way that
it works like other tools.  I'd like to see this extended to searches
in the other views as well.

Personally, I tend not to use '?' since the inversion of 'n'/'N'
confuses my muscle memory, but I can see its objective usefulness.
