I'm not quite certain which text you're trying to recall since there's not really a "search mode". It would help to have a more explicit sequence of the commands you're trying to run, possibly with a "magic happens here to do XYZ". A few pointers to places that might be useful in the meantime: :help last-pattern vim remembers your most recent search and can reuse it :help c_CTRL-R lets you insert the contents of a register (including the @/ search register) at the current point in an Ex command -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
