It helps to
:set foldopen-=search
Then, as you search for "foo", the closed folds stay closed; and if
"foo" matches more than once in a given fold, "n" will still move the
the next "foo" outside the fold. If that is not enough, you can map a
key to do
/foo
:while foldclosed(".") != -1
call search(@/, 'W')
endwhile
(untested).
