  1. it is stored at $HOME/.viminfo

    From the vim help command:

    The viminfo file is used to store: - The command line history. - The search string history. - The input-line history. - Contents of registers. - Marks for several files. - File marks, pointing to locations in files. - Last search/substitute pattern (for 'n' and '&'). - The buffer list. - Global variables.
