@thet do you have a plugin to make that preview? I only have the highlighting when doing the match part, using vim 9.1.

@tshirtman I was surprised about the search highlight including replacement preview too :)
Try:
set hlsearch

FWIW, I'm using neovim and this is my config: https://github.com/thet/dotfiles-vim

@thet i do have hls set, but it only does the first part of that, not the replacement preview, that’s apparently a neovim feature (inccommand), and it’s quite enticing, there are apparently some old plugins in the same directions for vim for it, i’ll probably give them a shot, but i might also try (again) to move to neovim in the near future. My config is large and depends on many plugins, so it feels like it’ll be a whole project 😅 .

@thet I can confirm that the traces.vim plugin https://github.com/markonm/traces.vim/ works great :)
