so that if I look for "a very interesting place which was far away"
vim will not find it if there is a new line, i.e. something like this
a very
interesting place
which was far away
How can I tell vim to ignore new lines in the search function?
I don't think there's anything as easy as a flag, but you can use
\_s to mean "a whitespace that includes a newline". If you only
havev one, you ca, search for
a\_svery\_sinteresting\_splace\_swhich\_swas\_sfar\_saway
If you have more than one such whitespace, you can make each
instance "\_s\+" to consume them. Using the command-line window
makes this a LOT easier to generate.
