Ah, thanks. I haven't read the first page in... decades I guess. Even so, it probably would not have occurred to me to use _commandline_ help to locate something about _searchmode_ behaviour, even thought there is a cross-reference in there. I guess my new method is to try the naive ':he <xyz>' first, then try each of the c_, i_, etc next. *Then* google. > > The help is implemented with tags, and I've often wondered why ':tn' > > doesn't do the obvious thing and take you to the next related help > > topic.

Although, elsethread I came to the conclusion what I really want is something more like an index, instead of strictly tags, which implies a manually-built tags file. :-( > At least there is a todo item (without priority): > > :h todo|/^Help > Help: > - When a help item has multiple matches make it possible to use ":tn" > to go > to the other matches.
