While I've experienced the same want for a "wrapscan from where my
search started" sort of option, and I don't have a good solution, in
such cases I sometimes use either
:g/pattern
or
:g/pattern/#
to either just print the matches, or number them (which then usually
leads to a jump to the line in question with something like 314G).
You can modify the command to print a range of lines if needed:
:g/pattern/-5;+5#
or
:g/pattern/?{?,/}/#
to give some context.
So, while not a perfect answer, it works for most of my use cases.
