Re: "local hlsearch"

Hi,

I often use a search'n'replace on an area, which is
limited by a previously selected visual block.
Additional hlsearch is on by default.
After the searech'n'replace has ended, the found
places are marked all over the whole text.
This is often irritating to me.
Is there a way to limit the highlights set by hlsearch
to those place of the visual block area?

Thank you very much fo rnay help in advance!
Best regards,

This doesn't answer your question exactly, but that bothers me too so I've set a very simple map to quickly disable the hlsearch setting.  The map is as follows:

 

 map <leader>h set nohlsearch

 

 So, after a search and replace or after searching to find a bit of code I can quickly disable the highlighting that is no longer useful. 

 

Hopefully someone else in the list will be better able to answer your question specifically, but I hope my 'solution' is helpful until then.  

 

 Cheers,
