How to display all results of a search in vim

Question

When searching string with notepad++, new window opens and shows find results. I want to use this feature in vim. After googling I found out some suggestions:

Answer 1

I suggest lvimgrep (so you can use quickfix for :make)

:nnoremap  :lvimgrep /\M\<\m\>/ **/*.[ch]pp **/Makefile | lopen

Also, if you just wanted to find in the current file:

:g//

will invoke 'print' (default command) on each matching line.

:v//               " non-matching lines
:g//-1             " lines preceding the matching line
:g//-1,+1          " lines around the matching line

etc.

:global is far more useful:

 :g/foo/ join       " join all lines containing foo

etc.
