How to search and replace globally, starting from the cursor position and wrapping around the end of file, in a single command invocation in Vim?

Question

When I search with the / Normal-mode command:

/\\vSEARCHTERM

Vim starts the search from the cursor position and continues downwa

Answer 1

% is a shortcut for 1,$
( Vim help => :help :% equal to 1,$ (the entire file).)

. is the cursor postion so you can do

:.,$s/\vBEFORE/AFTER/gc

To replace from the beginning of the document till the cursor

:1,.s/\vBEFORE/AFTER/gc

etc

I strongly suggest you read the manual about range :help range as pretty much all commands work with a range.
