IMPORTANT: this project is currently unmaintained; I went back to Vim as my main editor. If someone want to take over this just fork and we can update the elpa links.
This Emacs extension will make isearch and evil-ex-search-incremental (the "slash
search") to highlight the search term (taken as a regexp) in all the buffer and
persistently until you make another search or clear the highlights with the
search-highlight-persist-remove-all command (default binding to C-x SPC). This
is how Vim search works by default when you enable hlsearch. This extension requires the
"highlight" extension.
To enable:
(require 'highlight)
(require 'evil-search-highlight-persist)
(global-evil-search-highlight-persist t)
;; To only display string whose length is greater than or equal to 3
;; (setq evil-search-highlight-string-min-len 3)
