one of the wonderful things about vim is, it's entirely up to
you
the semi colon is useful if you to a lot of searches restricted
to the current line -- you'd want an alternative if you are
among these (:help ; will take you to the section in motion.txt
where the semi-colon's default mapping is described -- it
repeats the single line search commands like f)
i personally have mapped ; to : for years now, and love it -- i
never do single line searches, and have never needed the
semi-colon command
my recommendation is to map it and save dozens of shift presses
throughout the course of any given day
it is up to you
