Just to make sure we're highlighting everything we search for set:
:set hlsearch
Next, click on the link in the above page that says:
"Searching"
From the resulting page:
"In normal mode you can search forwards by pressing / then typing your search pattern. Press Esc to cancel or press Enter to perform the search."
So press /, e and finally enter. Done. Crap, I'm missing the upper case Es? Search for "vim search case insensitive", get:
http://joysofprogramming.com/case-sensitive-search-vim/
Oh, I need to do:
:set noic
Try it again, get all the letters highlighted, 3-5 minutes later I'm done.
Why was websurfing more productive in this case? Obviously because I can spend the remaining 15 minutes posting the trivial solution to HN. ;)
