So all you have to do is try to find for some non existing phrase like dsgasdgasdgsadgsdag and your problem will go away. Step 1. Open any text file. Step 2. type the following without the quotes '/sdgsdgdsgsadgasdgasdgasdg'. You will see vi reporting that it could not find the phrase and at the same time echo will start appearing normal.
