IndexedSearch.vim by Yakov Lerner

This is a minor fork of the original, modified to center matches in the window and open folds if necessary. [email protected]

See the plugin page at vim.org.

This plugin redefines 6 search commands (/,?,n,N,*,#). At every 
search command, it automatically prints 
       "At match #N out of M matches". 
-- the total number of matches (M) and the number(index) of current 
match (N). This helps to get oriented when searching forward and 
backward. 

To try out the plugin, source it and play with N,n,*,#,/,? commands. 
There are no new commands and no new behavior to learn. 
Just watch the bottom line when you do /,?,n,N,*,#. 

Works on vim6 and vim7.  Won't cause slowdown 
on very large files (but then counters are not displayed).

Checking At which Match Number You Are 
..................................................... 
You can press g/ or \\ or \/ (that's backslach then slash),to show 
at which match index you are, without moving the cursor. 
Messages are: 
    At Nth match of M (if cursor is exactly on the match) 
    Betwen matches N1-N2 of M (if cursor is between matches) 
    At single match 
    Before first match, of N 
    After last match, of N 
Command  ':ShowSearchIndex'  shows same information. 
------------------------------------------------------ 
To disable colors for messages, set 'let g:indexed_search_colors=0'. 
------------------------------------------------------ 
Performance.     Plugin bypasses the calculation of match index when 
it would take too much time (too many matches, too large file). You can 
tune performance limits, look into script sources after comment 
"Performance tuning limits".

To show slightly shorter messages, define 'let g:indexed_search_shortmess=1'
