I found a nice feature of VIM search, i.e. listing all search results and the corresponding line numbers.

For example:

:g/for.*bar/#

Question: Is there an “easy” way to pipe/put this into another window/tab/buffer?

Cheers!

    I don’t know how to pipe the output of :g/for.*bar/# into a new buffer but I do know how to use vimgrep to get much the same result.

    Try:

    vimgrep "for.*bar" %
    :copen
    

    Now you have a buffer with all the search results and you can even navigate between them with :cn and :cp.

    Take a look at :help quickfix
