I use the Grep.vim plugin. It helps you search within subdirectories, and displays nice search results that you can easily jump to. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=311 You install the plugin, then, when you want to search for something, you type :Rgrep There's a bazillion different commands you can use. Give it a try. Regarding your "open in different windows" question, you can place the cursor on a search result, then press gF (I think) and it will open in a new window. See :help gf for ways to open a file. One thing I would note is that on a Mac, I have these settings: " Tell Rgrep not to use Xargs on Mac OS 'cause it sucks. " Previously used has("mac"), except this doesn't work in " a terminal, and fubars the grep.vim plugin let s:os = system("uname") if s:os =~ "Darwin" let g:Grep_Xargs_Options='-0' endif --Nate Israel-25 wrote: > > > Hi Björn, > > Thanks for the info, I'll look into that. > > Israel > > On Oct 26, 4:55 pm, "björn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi Israel, >> >> 2008/10/26 Israel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> >> >> >> > I switched from TextWrangler to MacVim and so it's going ok, but I >> > miss the ability to search multiple files simultaneously, is there any >> > way to do this in MacVim? >> >> > TextWrangel shows the results in a two sections window, with the file >> > names in one and the contents of the selected file in the other, there >> > is the option to open the file in a new window also. >> >> I'm sure you'll get more answers if you post this question on the >> vim_use mailing list, but I can at least tell you how I search through >> multiple files (although I'm no expert at these things). >> >> I use the :vimgrep command, so if I want to search through all c-files >> for "hello world" I do something like: >> >> :vimgrep /hello world/ *.c >> >> That will set the quickfix list and you can step through all matches >> with :cn and :cp.
