Ring bell when search wraps? (i.e. on "search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP")

[Asheq Imran]

When I search for something and it it wraps to the other end of the buffer, I sometimes feel disoriented about where I am in the buffer because I miss the message that says "search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP".

I would like for the bell to ring so the wrap is more obvious.

Can I do it, or should I open an issue on Github? I imagine this helping a lot of people.

The solution is to adjust the highlight that applies to that message. That depends on what colorscheme you use, but if using a dark background, something like the following works.

:hi WarningMsg ctermfg=15 ctermbg=12 guifg=White guibg=Red gui=NONE

See https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/1009 for a patch allowing this, and some vimscript examples in the comments to make it happen.
