Search for ~ (tilde) in vim

Question

How can I search for a ~ (tilde) in vim?

I tried /\~ and / \~ as /~ does not work.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

/\~ works here. (with magic as default)

There are other ways,

• you can search by character class: /[~]
• you can search in nomagic mode /\M~
• you can search in very nomagic mode /\V~
