You can search through multiple files using `vimgrep` command.
```
# search for string all python files in the current dir
:vimgrep string *.py
# search for string all python files in the current dir and subdir of the current dir
:vimgrep string **/*.py
Here are the commands you can use to navigate through search matches:
- `:cn` - jump to the next match.
- `:cN` - jump to the previous match.
- `:clist` - view all the files that contain the matched string
- `:cc number` - jump to specific match number, which you get from :clist output.
```
