word-search-forward: How to do it again, and again, and again ...?

[David Combs]

That word-search seems nice -- easier typing-in than, 
say, the regexp "M-C-S \<word\>"

Not only that, but it doesn't require (doesn't allow)
a regexp, which sometimes makes searching easier,
as when searching for, well, regexps.

But there seems no way to do it easily, *repeatedly*,
the way you *can* do with eg isearch -- just keep
your pinky on the control-key (assuming a "decent"
keyboard <g>) and repeatedly pushing "s".

Suggestions?

(Yeah, a kbd-macro, but that's holding down control
plus *two* keystrokes (x and e) -- plus it's
a new macro for each search-string ...)

What, a defun?  (Maybe you'll show it.)


Thanks!
