Even better, instead of keeping a ioccur buffer (unique) like occur,
ioccur use now named ioccur-buffer for each buffer where you search in.
So the ioccur is not overwrited if you search in another buffer.

So when you call ioccur and a ioccur-buffer exist for this buffer,
incremental search is NOT started, the ioccur-buffer is displayed.

When ioccur-buffer is visible and you call ioccur from other buffer,
ioccur-buffer is erased and incremental search restart.

When you are in ioccur-buffer, hitting "R" erase buffer and restart
incremental search.

Of course, hitting C-j or left just jump to matched line and kill ioccur
buffer as always.

This is in development branch of ioccur:
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/ioccur

cd to ioccur directory

hg update -C development
