I installed vim 8 over my existing vim7.4 installation and suddenly Ctrl-F wasn't scrolling forward anymore, it was searching, as though it were a windoze notepad session or something. I'm not able to find the way to change this behaviour back again. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'd really appreciate it.
This is the intended behavior when you use the default setting with the
official installer for Windows.
If you don't have your own .vimrc, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\_vimrc" is
used as the default setting, and it sources mswin.vim which defines some
mappings so that Vim behaves like Windows. The mapping for Ctrl-F is added
recently to behave more like Windows.
If you don't like it, you should create your own .vimrc (or _vimrc) in
your home directory (normally C:\Users\<username>\).

Even better (if you use plugins and the like) is to create "C:\Users\<username>\vimfiles\vimrc" so that everything is in one self-contained directory.
