vim-searchme

A naive Vim/Neovim plugin to open browser and search text asynchronously

Installation

Plug 'voldikss/vim-search-me'

Basic

Suppose you are using the default key mappings

Use <Leader>s in operator-pending mode to search a word (for example, <Leader>saw to search a word).

Use <Leader>s in visual mode to search for what you have selected. (for example, if you selected strings inside a bracket using vas, just type <Leader>s to search it).

Also you may try <Leader>S, with which you can input what you want to search in the cmdline.

Furthermore, this plugin will execute asynchronously if your Vim has job api.

KeyMap

Here are some default key mappings

You can also define your own mappings, by remapping <Leader>d, <Leader>w or <Leader>r

" Type <Leader>s to trig searching in normal mode
nmap <silent> <Leader>s <Plug>SearchNormal
" Type <Leader>s to search selected text in visual mode
vmap <silent> <Leader>s <Plug>SearchVisual
" Type <Leader>S to input the text you want to search in the cmdline
nmap <silent> <Leader>S <Plug>SearchComand
