I was working with a file using vi and accidentally hit something that keeps telling me "wrapped" when doing a search. I can't figure out what I hit and how to undo this.

wrap in a search just tells you it didn't find what you were looking for from the point in the file you were at to the bottom so it started at the top to search from there down to the point you were in the file. (Assuming you did "/pattern" - if "?pattern" it means it searched from your start point to the top of the file and then went to the bottom and searched up to your starting point there.)

This is standard for vi and is not a problem. If you really want to turn it off though you can type:

":set nows" which tells it to turn off wrap scan.
It will then only search from the point in the file you were at to the bottom ("/") or the top ("?").

To turn ON the wrap scan just do:

":set ws"

You can also make these settings your defaults by putting them in .exrc in your home directory. That file is read whenever you start vi/vim. Just leave out the colon (":").

Thanks, I guess I must have accidentally cut out a bunch of lines then somehow.
