Highlight search terms about vim-grepper HOT 2 CLOSED

I thought about this, but I'm not sure it's gonna work out.

I'd have to emulate all the regexp syntaxes that grep tools use (since Vim has its own regexp syntax) and it would have to be configurable in case someone needs to add a new grep tool. Unless there's a better way, this would be extremely lot of work.

I'll have a look around if there's a better way to achieve this.

Whenever you use the operator (motions/visual selections), you should get perfectly accurate highlighting.

When you insert the query yourself at the prompt, grepper assumes some things, so there might be some false positives in some cases. It does simple transformations like these:

\bfoo\b  ->  \<foo\>
*?  ->  \{-}
+?  ->  \{-1,}

And with this, I consider this feature implemented!
