  1. swiper

    Ivy - a generic completion frontend for Emacs, Swiper - isearch with an overview, and more. Oh, man! (by abo-abo)

    This is a good improvement. Personally though I left isearch behind. For further search convenience / functionality I highly recommend swiper.

  3. helm-swoop

    Efficiently hopping squeezed lines powered by Emacs helm interface

    I am thinking myself of whether swiper/swoop functionality can entirely replace isearch, or whether it is better kept separate. You never use isearch at all?

  4. isearch-light

    Another incremental search tool for Emacs, packaged as `ISL`.
