Thanks for the help. / or ? search is always global (I mean, it searches within the current file only, but matches are highlighted in all windows); no luck there. Similarly, colorschemes, highlight groups, and the 'hlsearch' option are also global. If you want to un-highlight the search matches once you're done looking at them, you can use the :noh[lsearch] command (without :set); if you want to highlight the matches of different patterns to be highlighted in different colors, you can use the :match and :2match commands. These are all I can think of. see :help :nohlsearch :help :match :help :2match Best regards, Tony.

Syntax-based highlighting is local to the buffer, so it can be changed for the preview window, but the Search highlight group is not syntax-based. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=321 is almost what I need. With it, :Bs pattern highlights pattern in just the current window. Can I redefine / to use Bs?
