Chromium CodeSearch integration for Vim

[Asanka Herath]

A plugin for integrating Chromium CodeSearch is at https://github.com/chromium/vim-codesearch

The plugin has support for performing free text search, cross reference lookup, navigating call graphs, and more. Installation instruction, screencasts and code can be found at the above URL.

Here's what a search buffer looks like:

​

In addition, if you'd like to try poking at CodeSearch data, there's a [unsupported] Python library at https://github.com/chromium/codesearch-py . The Vim plugin uses this library in the backend.

Please direct bug reports to the respective GitHub projects' Issues. Here for the Vim plugin, and here for the library.

Thanks to Josh Karlin who wrote a plugin integrating CodeSearch into Sublime whose code was the basis for the library.

We also have a codesearch extension for vscode. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=chaopeng.chromium-codesearch

Thanks Asanka, this is really great!

Many thanks for the plugin.  Especially for searches (i.e. x-ref searches) that return lots of results, going through the results in vim's CrSearch is much easier (for me at least) than in the CrSearch's web page.

Awesome!

Depending on the type of cross reference you need, you may find :CrTour even easier. It loads the cross reference into the quickfix list, so you can go through the results via whichever mechanism you are used to for navigating quickfix lists.

:help :CrTour

This is fantastic. CrSearch and CrXref are my best friends now. I can keep my Vim window fullscreened!

My only bit of feedback is that you might want to provide a textual set of example commands in the README.md. Animated gifs are a nice demonstration but they're hard to decipher for actual instructions, since they are small and full of text.
