See 'nowrapscan' at:

However, the better answer is to get used to it because it is
very useful in practice! What you need to do is have a prominent
message when wrap around occurs so you don't wonder when it has
happened. For example:

:hi WarningMsg ctermfg=15 ctermbg=12 guifg=White guibg=Red gui=NONE
