That would restore the --markmatch behavior (and make it the default).
That behavior was removed because I didn't like it. Marking the found
occurrence seemed like a good idea, but in practice I had difficulty
adapting to it: apparently I regularly search for something, then cut
some lines and paste them somewhere else. But with --markmatch, the
first ^K would cut the marked word, and I would wonder: what happened,
why isn't the line cut? Until I learnt to first move the cursor before
cutting. But that got to be annoying pretty quick.

If it's a whole word, Ctrl+Del can be used to delete it.

Yes, that's why --markmatch seemed like a good idea. But no one has
given any example of what they would be able to do with it.
