From the Emacs manual:
Searching incrementally on slow terminals, such as displays connected
to remote machines over slow connection, could be annoying due to the
need to redraw large portions of the display as the search proceeds.
Emacs provides a special display mode for slow terminals, whereby search
pops up a separate small window and displays the text surrounding the
match in that window.
