See
:help /\
(which was already mentioned in my previous response)
:help 'magic'

Actually (with 'magic' set, which is the default and the recommended
setting, as the opposite might break some of the plugins included with
Vim), ~ matches the latest subsitute string and \~ matches a tilde.
With 'nomagic', it's the opposite. The same applies to several other
characters which have a special meaning in a pattern when either
preceded or not preceded by a backslash. Now read my previous post
again, including the example functions, which assume that 'magic' is
set.

Also try a plain search — either /~ or /\~ — on (for instance) a helpfile.


Best regards,
Tony.
