Description
Search wraps, while I would prefer it to stop at the last instance and require me to use shift-n to go back up. Wrapping is disorienting - I don't know where I am in the page and I don't know if I am going through the same results.
It wouldn't be as disorienting if there was that scroll bar that appears with coloured lines to show matches, like when using Chrome's native ctrl-f search.
Is there any way to disable search wrapping on Vimiun/Chrome?

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating Vimium’s Chrome search implementation and determine how search wrapping is controlled; done means searches stop at the last match and Shift-N moves backward without looping.
