Searching word in vim?

vim

Solution

like this:

/\<word\>

`\<` means beginning of a word, and `\>` means the end of a word,

Adding @Roe's comment: VIM provides a shortcut for this. If you already have word on screen and you want to find other instances of it, you can put the cursor on the word and press `'*'` to search forward in the file or `'#'` to search backwards.

Problem

I can search word in vim with `/word`. How can I search only for `word`, excluding searches for `word1` and `word2`?
