Text search commands

&liberator.appname; provides a Vim-like interface to &liberator.host;'s standard text search functionality. There is no support for using regular expressions in search commands as &liberator.host; does not provide native regex support. It is unlikely that this will ever be available.

/ /pattern[/]<CR>

Search forward for the first occurrence of pattern.

If \c appears anywhere in the pattern the whole pattern is handled as though ignorecase is on. \C forces case-sensitive matching for the whole pattern.

If \l appears in the pattern only the text of links is searched for a match as though linksearch is on. \L forces the entire page to be searched for a match.

? ?pattern[?]<CR>

Search backwards for pattern.

pattern can use the same modifiers as for /.

Incremental searching currently only works in the forward direction. n n

Find next. Repeat the last search 1 time (until count is supported).

 N N

Find previous. Repeat the last search 1 time (until count is supported) in the opposite direction.

* *

Search forward for the next word under the cursor.

 # #

Search backward for the previous word under the cursor.

 :noh :nohlsearch :nohlsearch

Remove the search highlighting. The document highlighting is turned back on when another search command is used or the hlsearch option is set.
