Use case: I am already on the line where I need to be, I need to navigate to a specific place within that line. This is a more targeted search. Say you have this text example below and that your cursor is at the beginning of the line:

This is some sample text for searching or finding in a sentence.

Let's say I wanted to get to the word "searching"
In Vim, you could do:
6w but counting words is not efficient.
f{s};;; also annoying because of the constant use of ;
/{wordToSearch} works but.....eh?

The result would be (letters in parentheses indicate jump point before or after word):

(a)This (b)is (c)some (d)sample (e)text (f)for (g)searching (h)or (i)finding (j)in (k)a (l)sentence.

This(a) is(b) some(c) sample(d) text(e) for(f) searching(g) or(h) finding(i) in(j) a(k) sentence(l).

I did some quick testing with this line of text:

// PeasyMotion

// VSCode Vim EasyMotion

// Vim EasyMotion

Should this be consistent with the other flavors of EasyMotion? It looks like you are pretty close already.

yeah, word search clearly needs a rewrite :)

Test line should look like this now:

You may consider trying test version here:

If everything will work out fine, i`ll release on VS marketplace. ( just in case - use VS marketplace, it has autoupdate :} )
