Searching
---------

   As in Vi, searching is done by `/' and `?'.  The string will be
searched literally by default.  To invoke a regular expression search,
first execute the search command `/' (or `?') with empty search string.
(I.e, type `/' followed by <RET>.)  A search for empty string will
toggle the search mode between vanilla search and regular expression
search.  You cannot give an offset to the search string.  (It is a
limitation.)  By default, search will wrap around the buffer as in Vi.
You can change this by rebinding the variable `vip-search-wrap-around'.
Note: Customization, for how to do this.
