Thanks for the script. > I don't know which terminal emulator you use, but if it's xterm or > konsole, it supports 256 colours. In Konsole, you have to set your > terminal type to "xterm-256color" and add "set t_Co=256" in your .vimrc. > I am using konsole. There I have $ echo $TERM xterm This is the default and I did not change it. With this setting, when I did ":set t_Co=256" in .vimrc, I get yellow background for searched items. Cool! One problem solved. thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/
