VIM: Search only between specific line numbers?

Question

I know that with Vim\'s substitution command you can specific a range of lines:

:12,24s/search/replace

I want to be able to specify a range

Answer 1

Using Narrow Region plugin we can open a temporary buffer with the range we need to search or change

:900,1000NarrowRegion

Then we can meke a search

/thing

Or a change and write the buffer back

:%s/this/that/g
:wq
