Arrgghhh! Actually, I looked at the search code and docs/tooltips and it states it will always stop at the first place a match is found.
So this behaviour is not an actual bug. Search does not keep state or remember where you start or where you have reached so you can stop / abort any search at will.
Unfortunately, if you decide to make no replacement at some point, the next time it will loop around when restarted and find that same place and never advance!
To change this would take a complete redesign of the entire "stateless" search process.
Perhaps a checkbox for every search item so you can disable it somehow manually before restarting if it stops advancing or some other way for you to temporarily skip a search easily before rerunning.
I will have to think about how this could be done without creating a problem.
