Description

It seems that jumping to search results (at least when using quick list) is jumping to the line that matched, instead of characters that matched, like /. Is there a way to configure it?

Research direction

Start by tracing how quick-list search results are converted into jumps, focusing on the distinction between the matching line and character position. Check any existing tests around search-result navigation, then verify whether the completed behavior jumps to the matched character as described.
