I use sometimes the regex that finds paragraphs containing given words w1,w2,... in any order ( I define "paragraph" as separated by lines, \n\n).I use the pattern like this: (two-word example, w1 and w2, but easily expandable for N words): /\c\(.\|.\n\)*\<w1\>\&\(.\|.\n\)*\<w2\> (and I set :set maxmempattern=20000 ) This works. But search time is unbelievably slow on big files. My question is; is there a rewrite of this regex that works faster. To see the testcase how of how slow this works: 1. wget http://www.vmunix.com/~gabor/c/draft.html # this is ~1.3 MB file. 2. vim draft.html 3. /\c\(.\|.\n\)*\<w1\>\&\(.\|.\n\)*\<w2\> This search never finishes for me. How can I rewrite the regex to search faster ? Yakov
