# Grepping Through The Vim Help Files
|
|
|
|
Trying to look up the help file for a Vim feature, but you cannot quite
|
|
remember the right keyword? Use `:helpgrep`. With `:helpgrep`, you can
|
|
search across all of the Vim help files for not just the specific keywords,
|
|
but any pattern of text. For instance, if you want to find where
|
|
`substitution` is mentioned in the help files, try:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:helpgrep substitution
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It makes a list of all occurrences in the quick fix window and then opens up
|
|
a split with the cursor on the line of the first occurrence. You can then
|
|
hit `:copen` to see the rest of the entries.
|
|
|
|
See `:h helpgrep` for more details.
