Not sure if there is a way to do this currently. There actually is code
to restrict the matches to a line range, it is used for a command like
":1,30s/pat". So you could somehow fill in the line numbers at the top
and bottom of the window, type the pattern, then remove the text before
the pattern when starting to search. But that's an ugly hack.

I'm not against adding an option for this, but we currently have no
option to change how 'incsearch' works. Adding Yet Another Option?
