Description
Describe the bug
When using EasyMotion JumpAnywhere function, it doesn't always start highlighting 2 character combinations around where the cursor currently is.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Load a file with a lot of text.
- Position the cursor in the middle of the file.
- Trigger EasyMotion JumpAnywhere. (Currently I use regex
\b[A-Za-z0-9]|[A-Za-z0-9]\b)
Expected behavior
I expected EasyMotion to highlight start and end of words around the cursor, not to start the highlighting far before the cursor, so we run out of 2 character combinations by the time we get to the cursor.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in a large text file with the reported regex, placing the cursor in the middle before triggering EasyMotion JumpAnywhere. Trace the JumpAnywhere implementation and its highlighting/search order; done means word starts and ends around the cursor are highlighted before distant matches consume the available two-character combinations.
