No, to repeat the search, so that the results are up to date. If the 
user answered `y' to all replacement prompts, then yes, the new results 
will only include the remaining matches. Otherwise, they will also 
include the skipped ones.

I could be handy to refresh the search results buffer after finishing 
with replacements, just to get an overview of the ones the user skipped, 
to make sure they didn't miss anything important.

It will be a solution for all xref buffers, touching more or less all 
commands that show them.

All right, not in emacs-25, then.
