In Vim, how do I match on "=" but not on "=="?
I've tried a number of different search patterns:
[^=]=[^=]works but only if = is not at the beginning/end and it also matches the sandwiching characters=\@!==\@!seems like it should work because \@! matches nothing but requires a match, but it doesn't (see :help pattern-overview)[^=]\@==[^=]\@=also doesn't but seems like it should
Suggestions?

How about
[^=]\?\zs=\ze[^=]\?
\zs starts the match \ze ends the match
