I probably misunderstood you. No it does not match, but Isearch (and therefore the current default search of evil) stops here if "abce" does not occur in the buffer because it matched the previous input "abc". I liked the idea so I put it into my config: https://github.com/cofi/dotfiles/commit/13bca2e2503653fb0137a4216535d4505c3cb100 (Popping the mark returns to start, as usual, so C-o or C-x C-SPC) BUT I don't think RET or even C-g are a good choice for keys. And then I'm unsure if it should be included into evil. Michael
