vim how to search for URL

Question

How would you search for the following string in vim?

http://my.url.com/a/b/c

I\'ve tried (a la Very No Magic)

:/\\Vhttp://         


        

Answer 1

another way to search forward (from the position of your cursor) without escaping is use :s command.

you could do:

:%s@http://my.url.com/a/b/c@@n

then press n to navigate matched text forward, N backwards

If you want to know how many matches in the buffer, use gn instead of n

note that, I said "without escaping", I was talking about the slash, if you want to do search precisely, you have to escape the period. .. since in regex, . means any char.
