By matthewlmcclure:

The incremental search behavior is a little strange:

1. Searching backward with ? pages to the end of the buffer even if the position had been somewhere else before searching.
2. If the last match is in view, less rings the bell on every subsequent character typed, even when the resulting search string still matches.
3. Deleting a character from the search string:
1. Rings the bell
2. Briefly displays extra characters at the end of the search string
3. Deleting the last remaining character of the search string leaves matches for that character highlighted.
4. After deleting the last remaining character of the search string, two more deletes rather than one are required to cancel the search.
