I think, these 2 mappings should do what you want:

nnoremap <expr> n search(@/, 'nW' . (v:searchforward ? '' : 'b')) ? 'n' : "\<ESC>" . (&ws ? 'n' : '')

nnoremap <expr> N search(@/, 'nW' . (v:searchforward ? 'b' : '')) ? 'N' : "\<ESC>" . (&ws ? 'N' : '')

(each one a single line, in case it wraps in the mail.)

This should work, though, it doesn't ring the bell for me. I think I
have deactivated the bell somewhere globally, if I just remembered
where...

But setting 'visualbell' works and flashes the screen, whenever you
wrap.

Christian
