I can't have a global search in macvim

Question

I'd like to have a global search for 'builder', but the command GS: builder doesn't work, and show me the Error:lid: can't locate 'ID': No such file or directory Something I lost ?

Answer 1

lid: can't locate 'ID': No such file or directory: Before global search, there must generate an ID file. So I executed :Update in my project, I found gawk does not exist.

When I installed gawk, global search does work.

Answer 2

The documentation claims that the plugin uses :grep internally and (rather obviously) the user-defined 'grepprg'.

You appear to have set your grepprg to lid so you must make sure that:

• you are using it correctly,
• you performed the right customization.
