Abstract
One of the cornerstones of a solid text editor is the ability to find files and content and to replace the latter with new content. Many editors provide a GUI abstraction on top of underlying code that implements the search criteria for you. Vim doesn’t try to hide it and, instead, exposes it to you via the COMMAND-LINE mode.
