Example
Jumping to characters
f{char} - move to the next occurrence of {char} to the right of the cursor on the same line
F{char} - move to the next occurrence of {char} to the left of the cursor on the same line
t{char} - move to the left of the next occurrence of {char} to the right of the cursor on the same line
T{char} - move to the right of next occurrence of {char} to the left of the cursor on the same line
Jump forward / backward between the 'results' via ; and ,.
Further you can search for whole words via /<searchterm>Enter.
Searching for strings
* - move to the next occurrence of the word under the cursor
# - move to the previous occurrence of the word under the cursor
/searchtermEnter brings you to next match (forward-search). If you use ? instead of /, searching goes backwards.
Jump between the matches via n (next) and N (previous).
To view/edit your previous searches, type / and hit the up arrow key.

(:se noisturns off.):se icIgnoreCase, turns case sensitivity off. (:se noicturns on again.):se scsSmartCaSe, can be used when IgnoreCase is set; makes case (in)sensitivity smart! e.g./thewill search forthe,The,ThE, etc. while/Theonly will look forThe.
