How to make * only search current word?

[mocheng]

After deploying spf13, I find that it doesn't search current word when typing *.

For example, if cursor is at the first foo, * will not search foo but this.foo.

   this.foo() // cursor stay at foo

   function foo() {
   }

This is really annoying. Since it is preferable to search current exact word.

I also experienced something similar with commands like viw (select inside word) will not select just the word you want to select but what is considered W which is the entire word including . in between the words. viw will select.all.these.words instead of just the one word you want to select. I tried looking all over the config files and couldn't find where this setting takes place. Anyone figure this out?

I think i found the answer @mocheng . You can remove these lines and it should fix the issue.

    set iskeyword-=.                    " '.' is an end of word designator
    set iskeyword-=#                    " '#' is an end of word designator
    set iskeyword-=-                    " '-' is an end of word designator

You might need to also clear your vim views in order for the setting to take effect and you can do that by running rm ~/.vimviews/*

Actually I'm still having the same issue. Anyone figure this out?

@spf13 Any ideas? Sorry to bother but I've been trying to figure this out for a long time now with no luck. Would greatly appreciate your feedback!

UnBundle 'gorodinskiy/vim-coloresque'

and then running :PluginClean
