Much better, but it has a few issues.

Do a regex search for "+", it says not found but doesn't beep or indicate the 
regex is invalid. Change the "[NOT FOUND]" to "[BAD REGEX]".

I can open the inc-search prompt and press enter to search for previous match 
but that match no longer shows up in the prompt.

The delay you implemented is terrible, it makes search more laggy than before. 
I paste a 90 character line and it takes 2 seconds before the text appears in 
the prompt and gets highlighted, normal search is instant and it only took 
about 1 second in the previous patch. And there is noticeable lag when typing 
in the prompt. I don't know how that wtimeout works but keys need to be drawn 
to the prompt as they are typed. Only the actual incremental search should be 
delayed for 250ms.
