I have this map setup in my .vimrc, so \z will hide all lines that
don't contain the current search pattern.
map <silent><leader>z :set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum)!~@/ foldlevel=0
foldcolumn=0 foldmethod=expr<CR>
So in your case, you would search for URGENT in the usual way
/URGENT
then type \z to hide every line that doesn't have URGENT
\z
It comes in handy quite often. This is about the only way that
I ever use folding in fact.
Yours,
Noah
