- is there a way to copy to the search query, including the term?

Question

If I have the following words

cat Oliver Louis

and the cursor is on "c", I can copy to the beginning of Louis with y/Louis<CR>(where "CR" is the enter key), which will copy the line "cat Oliver".

Is there a way to copy the search term “Louis” as well as for the copied string “Oliver Louis cat”? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use modifier /e: y/Louis/e<CR>. If you want to repeat the last search pattern, just leave him y//e<CR>.
