I think a screen capture would describe it in the easiest way :D

After some searching, I found this: https://github.com/markonm/traces.vim/commit/2bfc63174002903e350de418006eea83efcc8901

I'm just curious about how the decision was made back then.

The reasoning behind the commit was to allow one to see matched text while using mappings such as nnoremap gss :%s/\<<c-r><c-w>\>//g<left><left>. Previewing empty string seems less useful in comparison.

Thanks!

@markonm Maybe that behaviour should be made configurable via a variable?
