It's not really clear what you need (are the phrases always the same, or different per document, etc). However some suggestions. I have become quite fond of this script. You could select a phrase and type a few keys to have it highlighted in some colour. You can search for all highlighted stuff. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_multiple_words For phrase count, you need code like: %s/What I'm looking for//gn which will tell you the number of hits but will not change anything.
