description
Highlight the current search result in a different style than the other search results.

This plugin would not have existed without vim-searchant (vimscript #5404). It uses the same basic implementation for highlighting the current search result.

Features:
    - Smooth integration with standard search as well as other search-enhancing plugins (e.g. vim-anzu, vim-asterisk (vimscript #5059)).
    - Uses a custom highlight group for the cursor when it's inside a search result.
    - Behaves appropriately in Visual mode.
    - Highlighting is updated predictably when the cursor is moved, as well as when switching buffers and windows. It can also be toggled with custom autocommands.
    - User autocommands are provided and executed when highlighting is turned on and off.

See https://github.com/qxxxb/vim-searchhi for a more details.
