Thanks Michael,

I have not tried to put this in my .vimrc yet, but in doing it
manually I don't see anything that indicates which line my cursor is
on.  What should I see?

Yes, this method doesn't mark the current line in the search result.
Anyway, you can see your current line in the window, and all the results in quickfix window.

:cw will open a window under the window you are working, you can use height to set the quickfix window's height, such as :cw8 will open the quickfix window with 8 lines.

:help :cw
