It seems that on repeated searches, searchMatchesSelection() (search.c)
returns True for empty selections if the search term is not empty but
zero-width (as in the example, where ^ matches "").
So it would solve the problem at hand if we would let
searchMatchesSelection() return False for empty selections. Further, since
BufGetEmptySelectionPos() is only called by searchMatchesSelection(), we
can change *that* to do as promised: "[...] returns TRUE for empty
selections" (note not "non-existing selections").
(It doesn't help that the documentation about selection.zeroWidth is less
than clear: 'Width 0 selections aren't "real" selections, but they can be
useful when creating rectangular selections from the keyboard.' So since
selection.zeroWidth is a char, what does it hold? A boolean? (Would that
imply a True for selection.selected?) An "A" for "A-Ok, continue with your
work!!"?)

Yes, that's why I set the Resolution to Accepted.
