Version 0.2.0 of package Evil-Visualstar has just been released in NonGNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Evil-Visualstar describes itself as: ================================================ Starts a * or # search from the visual selection ================================================ More at https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/evil-visualstar.html ## Summary: evil-visualstar =============== This is a port of one of the many visual-star plugins for Vim to work with [evil-mode](https://bitbucket.org/lyro/evil/wiki/Home). installation ============ Install `evil-visualstar` from [MELPA][1]. usage ===== Add `(global-evil-visualstar-mode)` to your configuration. Make a visual selection with `v` or `V`, and then hit `*` to search that selection forward, or `#` to search that selection backward. If the `evil-visualstar/persistent` option is not nil, visual-state will remain in effect, allowing for repeated `*` or `#`. Note that you than have to exit visualstar-mode before hitting a direction key to avoid extending the selection. [1]: http://melpa.org ## Recent NEWS: [Not provided 🙁]
