What is the coolest, unknown(-ish) plugin that you're using that other people could benefit from?
vim-cool Not sure if there's an easier way to do it than having this plugin, but it disables search highlighting when you're done, and enables again when you search again. Makes me not have to use `:noh`
- set nohlsearch when pressing anything except n or N?
-
Call :noh command at InsertEnter autocmd
You may be interested in the vim-cool plugin, which uses InsertEnter and CursorMoved autocmds to automatically disable search highlighting after you're done with the search.

Do you know vim-mark: https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-mark.

How to find files that contain certain word/pattern only at certain path ?
You can open result in current window. You can select multiple results into quickfix (and then do e.g. :cfdo...). You can go through results and you have preview with the context of the result line. When you mark more strings by e.g. https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-mark you have fast visual overview of more complex information (you search for an expression but other highlighted expressions in context allows you to decide faster if the result is relevant).

Does anyone know of a plugin like vim-mark that works in Neovim?
I tried out vim-mark recently but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with Neovim. Does anyone know of an alternative that has similar functionality? I'm looking for something that can highlight several different searches/selections in different colors.
