How to make easymotion-next play nicely after asterisk (*) search

[seb-mueller]

Having defined:

map  / <Plug>(easymotion-sn)
map  n <Plug>(easymotion-next)
map  N <Plug>(easymotion-prev)

Pressing "n" after an easymotion-sn search works nicely. However, when searching for the current word with pressing * (:h *), the search fill fall back to normal search. I.e. pressing 'n' after a * search results in: EasyMotion: Previous targets doesn't exist

What is the best way to get this working as expected? Could * search feed into easymotion search, or could 'n' be made to work as in normal search after a * search? I'd be happy either way, but couldn't get neither to work.

P.S. This is also the same after having set up vim-asterisk.
