Yes that is true. $ means line end. Since there was a .* beofre it, it
will automatically match until the end of the line.

Add \c in the pattern. You should really lern to use regular
expressions. Take a look at :h pattern.txt and :h usr_27.txt

Read the help. When finished, read it again ;)

This is really good and basically explains everything. Of course you can
also hang up here and learn from others. That was how I did it ;)

So take a look at :h help.txt and :h usr_toc.txt

Oh and the wiki (http://vim.wikia.com) is probably also worth a look.
