First of all, I apologize for violating the "mailing rule."
I think my previous e-mail is somehow strange-looking unlike others'. But I
didn't recognize the problem. Sorry for the confusion.
I want to suggest to use ':grep' for searching the text and highlighting
them.
Maybe ':grep' is not in your interest. But it could make something more
convenient cause we can get the result in Quickfix list.
Here is the code. Tested only on Windows platform and vim version is
currently 7.3.875.
function! Grep(pattern)
exe 'grep ' . a:pattern
let @/ = substitute(a:pattern, '/\(.*\)/.*$', '\1', '')
copen
endfunction
command! -nargs=+ Grep call Grep(<q-args>) | set hls
cnoreabbrev grep
Grep<Space>//<Space>%<C-Left><C-Left><Right><C-r>=Eatchar('\s')<CR>
for Eatchar(), :helpgrep Eatchar
