How to global search selected word with new dynamic search

[rcorre]

As of #9647, the <space>/ global search is now interactive, which is awesome.
However, I frequently used to hit <space>/<c-s> to insert the word under the cursor before starting the search, as described here: #1933 (comment).
The new picker opens immediately upon pressing <space>/, and hitting <c-s> just closes the picker. Is there a way to insert a word under the cursor, or pre-seed the search somehow?

You can copy the current selection (regex-escaped) to the search register / with * and then global search and press enter to search using the contents of the search register /. Or you can select the word under the cursor with miw and use <C-r>. in the picker which enters the contents of the current selections special register ..
