I can reproduce the OP's observation, but I was confused by his description at first, too. The pattern is simply . then .. then ... and so on as you add periods to the pattern. > > further weirdness ensues if you start the search from the space between the > > first "justatestword" and the second. start the search there and for the > > pattern just type repeated .'s... the incsearch highlighting jumps forward > > and backwards > > What exactly is the problem ? It just looks weird. I understand the behavior in the first case. Each time you add something to the search pattern, vim assumes that you didn't like the first match so it searches forward for the next match. I don't understand the behavior in the second case, though, where the match appears to grow in both directions and jumps back and forth.
