Description

Is there an option for disabling wrap scanning when searching for terms? You can disable this with set nowrapscan in your vimrc. If not, I'm requesting this feature.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating Vimium's search implementation and the handling of the set nowrapscan preference; verify how searches currently wrap and identify where an option could control that behavior. Done means the option disables wrap scanning while preserving the existing default behavior.
