How do I find text with yanked text on vim?
The most recently yanked text will be stored in the 0 and " registers (if no register was explicitly specified e.g. by "xy).
Then you can paste the text of any that register in the last line (either in search mode / or in last line command mode : ) with Ctrl-RX, where X is the register you want to paste.
For example:
/Ctrl-R0
Will paste the contents of the register 0 in the forward search command pattern.
- yank the text
- press q/pEnter
q/: open the search history
pEnter: paste the yanked text on the command line and search
