I can't seem to use this pattern in Vim: <code>\d{4}</code> (but can only use <code>\d\d\d\d</code>) while searching; Any idea whats going on? note: <ul> <li>I am new to Vim</li> <li>I used <code>/</code> in <code>Normal Mode</code> and typed the pattern.</li> </ul>

<pre class="prettyprint"><code>/\d\{4} </code></pre> or <pre class="prettyprint"><code>/\v\d{4} </code></pre> read <code>:h magic</code> for details

Using curly braces quantifier \d{5} in search pattern in Vim

/\d\{4}

/\v\d{4}

read :h magic for details
