Per your initial post, I understood that the problem that you described
was finding where you were in a lengthy document when you last edited it
rather than telling Vim to ignore new lines?
I would have thought that *by default* Vim graciously places the cursor
where you were last editing a file without your having to try to
remember any content and devising complicated search commands.
Anyway that's exactly what it does in my setup and I don't remember
configuring it in this respect.
:h viminfo
and possibly this Vim tip:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Restore_cursor_to_file_position_in_previous_editing_session
I've never felt the need to do so myself, but I believe you can also
have Vim save each file's jumplist to the viminfo file, so that when you
resume your session you can use CTRL-O to backtrack to previous cursor
locations in the document you are editing.
:h jumplist
But maybe I'm misunderstanding your use case?
