in a recent linuxpro magazine i saw a tip on vim that was new to me.
it said that incremental search can be enabled with ':set incsearch'.
incsearch mode will cause vim to start looking forward as you type
search characters.  i've used vi/vim since 1989 or so i think and a
month doesn't go by that i don't learn something new about it (and
probably forget a couple of things too).
