[net.unix-wizards] searching from a buffer in VI

atkins@opus.UUCP (Brian Atkins) (08/18/84)

Can anyone tell me how to take a string, yank it into a buffer,
then search for that string by calling that buffer.

I know how to yank a command into a buffer then run that
command via the "@<buf>", but just searching??
