I understand that this question was asked earlier in this forum, but I did not find the answer, so here it goes.
In Vim, is there a way to turn on the fly backlight for all matches when searching?
If I turn on incsearch and type "/ something", it will highlight only the first match. If I enable hlsearch and type "/ something", nothing happens until I press the enter button (this only emphasizes the previous search).
In emacs, the first match will be highlighted, and (after a short delay) all other matches on the screen will be highlighted in a different color, which gives almost instant feedback when scanning matches in a piece of code.
