evil-search-forward glitch in web-mode

[Evidlo]

Description

In web-mode, evil-search-forward (/) gives strange behavior when searching for content inside a fold.

Reproduction guide

• Start Emacs
• open html file (given below)
• enter web-mode
• fold the div with class fold this div (SPC m z)
• search for the string search me

html file

foo
<div class="fold this div">
  search me
</div>
bar

Observed behaviour:
It appears that once evil finds the string search me, spacemacs stops responding until I hit ctrl G a few times.

Expected behaviour:
It should be able to search for the string within a fold without freezing (preferably opening the fold automatically).

For me it seems to be an upstream bug, but for now I can't even try to reproduce this on stock emacs because the folding of web-mode isn't working.

I was able to reproduce this on the latest version, so it's definitely still a problem.
