Highlighting Search Matches
vim
Written January 22, 2016
Want to see all the places in the buffer that match a search pattern? Turn
on hlsearch and Vim will highlight all the matches of the previous search.
Try turning it on with :set hlsearch and then search for some pattern
using /.
If you no longer want to see all the highlighted matches, turn it off with
:set nohlsearch.
See :h hlsearch for more details.
