Could you enlighten me what next/previous occurence has to do with
incremental search? :)

In any case, the urxvtperl manpage documents all the keys, including
next/previous:

  Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental
  search. "BackSpace" removes a character from the regex, "Up" and "Down"
  search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer, "End" jumps to the
  bottom. "Escape" leaves search mode and returns to the point where
  search was started, while "Enter" or "Return" stay at the current
  position and additionally stores the first match in the current line
  into the primary selection.

(ah, I need to update it for the new behaviour).
