Searching word in vim?
like this:
/\<word\>
\< means beginning of a word, and \> means the end of a word,
Adding @Roe's comment:
VIM provides a shortcut for this. If you already have word on screen and you want to find other instances of it, you can put the cursor on the word and press '*' to search forward in the file or '#' to search backwards.
If you are working in Ubuntu,follow the steps:
- Press
/and type word to search - To search in forward press 'SHIFT' key with
*key - To search in backward press 'SHIFT' key with
#key
- vim filename
- press /
- type word which you want to search
- press Enter
