if you have :set hlsearch<br>
then it will highlight every occurance of the last search string, but i<br>
turn it off by default as i find it annoying<br>

not sure what this was intended to be<br>
<br>
<br>
as for "get selected word into the search box" thats simply move the<br>
cursor to a word and hit the '*' key to immediately jump to the next<br>
occurrence of it.<br>
<br>
or if you have run ctags in your source tree then ctrl-] will jump you<br>
to where that var/function is defined. (ctrl-t jumps you back)<br>

apart from a brief dalliance with micro-emacs in the early 90s all i<br>
have ever used is vi and derivatives. nothing else quite matches up for<br>
speed and ease of use down an overloaded 64k leased line with<br>
multi-second round trip times :)<br>
<br>
these days i favour gvim and also use a bunch of plugins:<br>
airline, syntastic, tagbar, signify and autocomplpop<br>
