Typically the way I've resolved this is to start the search from the last line (as long as 'wrapscan' is set, which it is by default so you'd only need to mess with it if you've unset it explicitly) :set wrapscan :$/a > Is this a bug or a design decision ? As Tony notes, I'm pretty sure this was a design decision because it starts the search after the cursor so you don't just keep finding the same thing. -tim -- -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
