Searching word in vim?

like this:

/\<word\>

\< means beginning of a word, and \> means the end of a word,

Adding @Roe's comment:
VIM provides a shortcut for this. If you already have word on screen and you want to find other instances of it, you can put the cursor on the word and press '*' to search forward in the file or '#' to search backwards.

Basic search (once you have opened the file in vim) using vim:

-Hit ESC on your computer keyboard

-Hit the forward slash symbol on your keyboard /

-Type the word or symbol you intend to search; for example, to search for the term "rbmq" type /rbmq

-Hit Enter

-Hit n to search forward (moving towards the end of the file) and N to search backward (moving towards the beginning of the file)
