My first thought would be something like
:%s/\w\+/\=submatch(0)=~'pattern'?submatch(0):''
or perhaps
:%s/\w\+\W*/\=submatch(0)=~'pattern'?submatch(0):''
This assumes your pattern is a single-word. You'd have to expand
your search expression to accommodate if it's more than a
single-word. You're basically chunking it up into pieces you can
match your pattern against, and then, if the pattern doesn't
match, replacing it with an empty string ('')
I checked it but it doesn't do what I would like it does :(
It worked on the sample text and search-string you provided
(granted, using "hello" for "pattern"). So if something didn't
work, you'd need to provide more real-world text & patterns.
