Re: vim - how to enable searching in vim editor and finding/highlighting pattern that is only in non-commented block/line

> Is there a more productive way of searching/highlighting patterns of text that appear in a file only in non-commented blocks/lines.

The commands at :help include-search do exactly that.

:ilist foo

will list:

bar baz foo
foo bar baz

but not:

// foo does this

The "d" variants of those commands are particularly useful for programming.

This might need a bit of setup, though, but not much.

FWIW, I wrote http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=5214 to be able to use the quickfix list/window with :ilist, :dlist and friends.
