Using the * Command
Before jumping into Visual Mode (with v), you may be able to do your search without entering Visual Mode. When you press * (Shift + 8) in Normal mode, Vim will search for the word (i.e. keyword) under the cursor. Assuming the text you want to search is a single word, this is a great way to search.
