Version 1.6
NF: YRSearch is similar to YRGetElem. Given a regular expression it will interactively display all the elements in the yankring that match the regular expression. You can enter the number of the element to paste it. If you have many elements within the yankring, this can help you identify them more easily. NF: Updated the default history size from 30 to 100, which is partially the reason for the YRSearch command. NF: By default it supports "gp" and "gP", in addition to "p" and "P". NF: Added support for the expression register (:h quote=). Here is an example of how it is used: "="X"<CR>P
