Is it possible to set the cursor at the end of the string found?

Question

I'm using VIM 7.1

When I search a string in file, the cursor is moved to the beginning of the string found in the text.

Can the cursor be moved at the end instead of the start of the string ?

Use /king/e. The e means put the cursor at the end of the match. :help search-offset for more info.
