I usually have about 4 or 5 windows open in Vim. Currently - one of my files is very large(in size) - a CPU cache trace. Every time I search with "/", vim searches all windows before returning the result which takes a very long time because vim tries to search the CPU trace. Is there any nifty feature to just have vim search my current window?

hlsearchenabled? If so see if:set nohlsearchmakes a difference. Otherwise, try vim with bare configurationvim -u NONE file .... Does that make much difference? (I'm mostly spitballing here...I'm a bit surprised by this...though admittedly I don't know much about search implementation.)
