Try the following (untested):
:setlocal foldmethod=expr
:setlocal foldexpr=getline(v:lnum)\ !~\ 'searchtext'
replacing, of course, 'searchtext' by your search text, or by any regexp
you don't want to match. (Charachers which are "special" in a Vim regexp
should be backslash-escaped.) Replace !~ by !~? to force ignore-case
matching, or by !~# to force case-matching. (As shown, your global
'ignorecase' setting will be obeyed.)
To use the latest search pattern, replace 'searchtext' by @/ (like Tim
said).
Best regards,
Tony.
