consult-line search respecting visual-line or similar?

[mooseyboots]

i have been using consult-line rather than isearch for a while now.

one thing i notice is that when working in prose, with unfilled paragraphs, isearch will let me iterate through every matching item (hitting C-s to move to the next match each time), whereas consult-line will just match the line itself. this means that if a line (in this case potentially a long paragraph) contains multiple matches, only the first will be shown and the next match will be the first match in the next line (i.e. paragraph).

is it possible to move through multiple matches in the one line, like isearch, or to have consult-line respect visual-line-mode, or similar?

i sometimes work with filled paragraphs, but not always. it would be nice to have it work in both cases.

thanks!

This is not supported. consult-line is strictly line-based, like occur or consult-grep. We could maybe update consult--line-candidates to take visual-line-mode into account, but it might require too many other changes and introduce incompatibilities like with embark-export to an occur buffer.
