What happened to "Search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP"?

:help 'shortmess' still says that the s flag means not to give the
"Search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP" (or vice-versa) message when
searching, which I understand as meaning that in the absence of this
flag, the message will be given. Well, I just noticed that in my
current gvim build (Big 8.1.1935) it isn't, and yet the flag is
absent. Maybe I unwittingly set some other option preventing it? Or
has it been retired? I found this message useful to avoid unwittingly
looping several times in succession through a file's text.

Best regards,
Tony.
