gVim - 显示匹配搜索词的位置标记

Question

Is there functionality, plugin or ways in gVim to show markers of matched search terms, which point out their rough positions in the buffer? For example, when search "foo" in the buffer, the feature put markers along with the vertical scrollbar. Each marker indicates an matched "foo". When you scroll to that position, you see a "foo" in the buffer. With this feature I can easily tell the distribution pattern of the term visually, where the current term is relatively in the document and approximately how many occurrences.

If no such feature, is there way to manipulate scrollbar and other GUI components of gVim in plugin?

In Firefox the similar feature is done by Search Marker (outdated), XUL/Migemo (outdated) or FindBar Tweak (up-to-date) extensions.

Answer 1

If you want to see the distribution, you could try:

:g//#

this will show the lines where the search pattern is found.

Answer 2

Try :set hlsearch to get highlighted search terms.

Also try pressing ^G to see the line and column of the cursor.
