To display all the lines containing the variable name under the cursor, use the [I command.

[I
- List lines in this file, and in included files, containing keyword under cursor.
- The meaning of included depends on settings, but defaults are set for C (with search of directories normally used for
#include).
[<C-i>
- Jump to first match (first line in file containing keyword).
- Ctrl-i is Tab, so,
[<Tab> also jumps to the first match.
]<C-i>
- Jump to next match (first line after cursor containing keyword).
- This follows the <C-i>/<C-o> jumping patterns.
- Prepend the windowing operator (Ctrl-w) to open in a new window.
gd
- Go to definition of local variable (first occurrence of keyword in current function).
gD
- Go to definition of global variable (first occurrence of keyword in current file).

Search in filesEdit
Use :grep or :vimgrep to search for a pattern in files. See Find in files within Vim.
" grep for word under cursor in c/cpp/h-files
nnoremap <F9> <Esc>:exec("grep ".expand("<cword>")." ../*/*.c* ../*/*.h")<CR>
You can omit <CR> for manual changing the file pattern before searching.
If you have configured set grepprg=mygrep\ -n then you can use quickfix mode for jumping to the found locations.
TO DO
- Have merged information from other tips to here. See if any more cleaning up is required.
- Confirm that descriptions (drastically simplified wrt help) are accurate.
- Possibly make the "Search in files" section just a line under "See also". Is the 'nnoremap <F9>' stuff useful?
