Loupe enhances Vim's |search-commands| in four ways: 1. Makes the currently selected match easier to see ~ When searching using |/|, |?|, |star|, |#|, |n|, |N| or similar, it can be hard to see the "current" match from among all the matches that 'hlsearch' highlights. Loupe makes the currently selected match easier to see by: - Applying a different |:highlight| group (by default, |hl-IncSearch|) to the   match under the cursor. - Keeping the matching line centered within the window when jumping between   matches with |n| and |N|. 2. Applies sane pattern syntax by default ~ Loupe makes "very magic" (|/\v|) syntax apply by default when searching. This is true even if you initiate a search via a novel means, such as from a visual selection or with a complicated |:range| prefix. This means that you can use a pattern syntax closer to the familiar regular expression syntax from languages such as Perl, Ruby, JavaScript (indeed, most other modern languages that support regular expressions). 3. Provides a shortcut to remove search highlighting ~ Loupe maps <leader>n to quickly remove all 'hlsearch' highlighting (although you can provide an alternative mapping of your choosing or suppress the feature entirely). 4. Sensible defaults for search-related features ~ Loupe provides reasonable defaults for most search-related Vim settings to provide a good "out of the box" experience.
