Thanks Tim - is that to say that this functionality doesn't
exist in vim?

It doesn't exist exactly as you describe. You can highlight all hits of the thing actually searched for (":set hls"), and you can highlight the current word incrementally as you type the search (":set incsearch"), but I don't think there's any native method by which it will highlight all hits incrementally.

cool - just tried the method you suggested, seems to be a good approximation of the functionality (it doesn't highlight the rest of them until -enter-).

thanks!
