Describe vim replacements

Question

In almost every copy of vim that I have used, the program will give a description of changes after replacing text. (For example, something like "92 substitutions on 20 lines" would be displayed.)

I'm now working with a copy of vim that does not do that by default.

Is there a simple command (or addition I can make to my vimrc file) that will enable this behavior?

Answer 1

It's governed by option report.

You can see you current setting with

set report?

To report even the minimal change

set report=0
