search - drop-in replacement for Vile's search facilities
In .vilerc:
perl "use search"
In [x]vile:
:perl-fsearch
:perl-rsearch
:perl-search-next
:perl-search-prev
and then provide responses to the ensuing prompts.
The search package contains perl subroutines which are intended as a drop in replacement for vile's search facilities. Not all features (such as visual matches) are implemented yet.
These bindings are proper motions, however, so things like 'dn' or 'd/foo' will work as expected.
