Hi,

As the subject suggestions, I can't get the search highlight to work
from inside a function.  If I run it myself using the colon command
and typing it in.. then it works.

I managed to whittle my .vimrc file down to only the important part.
In case anyone is curious, I'm trying to simulate the regular
searching "slash key" to be used to only search and highlight, but
_not_ jump to the next match.  My idea was to just map \s to do it, as
seen below.

Anyways, here's what I have, which does not work for me.  I'm using
"VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3, Huge version without GUI." on Ubuntu 9.10.

Any tips greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

------- code below -------

function ChangeSearchRegister ()
  let @/ = "Change"
  set hlsearch
endfunction

nnoremap <leader>s :call ChangeSearchRegister()<CR>
