Extending word search selection in swiper

Question

I have been using helm from some time and am now trying ivy, counsel and swiper. Regarding swiper I am wondering if there is a way of extending the word search selection.

Just like hitting C-w after a normal incremental search command with C-s.
What it is called Isearch Yank in the Emacs manual.

Try M-j, which is bound to ivy-yank-word in the ivy minibuffer key map.

It's worth reading through the the ivy manual, either in Emacs or online. The relevant key bindings are discussed here: http://oremacs.com/swiper/#key-bindings-that-alter-the-minibuffer-input

Well, I read it, but bypassed that... Thanks! – nephewtom May 23 '17 at 14:17

@nephewtom FWIW, `C-h m` during `ivy` completion also pops up an `org-mode` reference document. – Basil May 23 '17 at 17:09
