hmm..it's impossible, unless you typed first ':CopyMatches "', because
otherwise it will be copied into the clipboard register (i.e. "+).

to recap, by default, CopyMatches copies into the clipboard, which is the "+
register, and therefore you have to use "+p, but you can override this by 
specifying CopyMatches <register_name> where register_name can be 'a' (type
just a w/o quotes) or 'b' etc. and in this case you will have to use "ap,
"ab respectively etc. or you can type CopyMatches " and then it will be
saved to the "-register where in this case you will be ok to use later just
p w/o any preliminaries.

from the help pages (cmdline.txt line 631)
        "Each may be followed (several times) by '+' or '-' and an optional
number.
This number is added or subtracted from the preceding line number.  If the
number is omitted, 1 is used."

Also, is there a maximum size a document must be for vim to load? or a
maximum size for a copy and paste? I am dealing with text files that are
well over 100MB
