Vim: search and highlight but do not jump

Question

The super star (*) key in Vim will search for the word under the cursor and jump forward to the next match. The user can jump to the next matches with the n key.

Answer 1

If you want to keep the current view and add the search to the history, try this [not so efficient] solution:

noremap * msHmt`s*`tzt`s

It is using the marks s (save) and t (top).
