description

When it comes to searching vim is one of the editors which lacks the feature of highlighting the current search result. Searchant wraps the hacky way to achieve this in vim into a plugin with a clean interface. Additionally it provides a key mapping to stop the search highlighting.

install details

It is recommended to install this plugin from GitHub https://github.com/timakro/vim-searchant using a plugin manager like pathogen.vim vimscript #2332, Vundle.vim vimscript #3458 or vim-plug vimscript #4828. Alternatively you can just drop the `plugin` and `doc` folders into your `~/.vim` directory. Don't forget to run `:helptags ~/.vim/doc` to generate the help tags after a manual installation.
