Is there a Vim / MacVim equivalent for TextMate Find in Project?

I used TextMate, now I use MacVim, the only thing I missed from TextMate is the Find in Project function, is there any Vim plugin that provides this functionality?

I think EasyGrep can do most of what you are looking for. It performs an extended access search of the current directory down.

I use it to find things in projects.

I think Project.vim allows you to search in your "project", but I never liked the idea of ​​having multiple files from different parts, my file system is magically grouped into a virtual project.

If - like me - all the files in your project are in the same "real" folder, Ack.vim and EasyGrep.vim work very well.

LustyExplorer is also very good for searching in buffers.

I used ack.vim for this.

You may need to install ack in advance if you have not already installed it. There are installation instructions on the vim-scripts page, but here is what I did (I don't use macports):

curl http://betterthangrep.com/ack-standalone > /tmp/ack sudo mv /tmp/ack /usr/local/bin/ack sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/ack

What I have in the installation file for my vim configurations is here .

I did not use TextMate, but after going through manual , I believe that one of these plugins is what you are looking for

I personally use the NERD tree and the Fuzzy finder, and they are both phenomenal! Try to try.

If you like fuzzyfinder.vim, you can watch Command-T .

The Command-T plugin provides an extremely fast, intuitive mechanism for opening files and buffers with a minimum of keystrokes. This is called “Command-T” because it is inspired by the “Browse to File” window associated with Command-T in TextMate.

Here you can view some screencasts with a demo of the plugin.
