Re: Quick Vim question

My cursor is a blinking vertical line that doesn't appear since the search item is colored yellow.  How do I change the cursor to be a blinking black square?  Obviously I'm not as proficient in computer stuff as probably the rest of the Vim users.

Your cursor (normally a blinking black square) should be on the current word in the search.

Hi, 

I've used the Vi editor on Unix for over 30 years and had to recently switched my software to Windows so I am now using Vim on my c:drive.  I'm confused about how to change settings.  When I do a search all the items are highlighted but there is no indicator for which word in the search I am currently on. How do make Vim indicate which search word I'm currently on?
