Forward searching refers to making a viewer display a given document at
a given location from within Vim. At present, these viewers are known to support
forward searching, but viewers that are not listed here may work, too:

Pressing <code class="literal">\ls</code> from within Vim
should make the viewer display the portion of the document where your
cursor is placed.
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
OS/X users need to set the <code class="literal">g:TreatMacViewerAsUNIX</code> flag
to <code class="literal">1</code> and provide a UNIX-like viewrule, that expects as
arguments the document, the linenumber and the sourcefile in this order.

Most DVI viewers need "source-special" information in order to do
forward (and inverse) searching. This information is embedded in the
<code class="literal">dvi</code> file if the LaTeX source is compiled with the
<code class="literal">--src-specials</code> option. By default, Latex-Suite does not
supply this argument to the compiler. See the section on
<code class="literal"><a class="link" href="customizing-compiling.html#Tex_CompileRule_format" title="11.6.2 g:Tex_CompileRule_<format>">g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi</a></code>
to find out how this option can be set.
For pdf viewers you need to use the <a class="ulink" href="http://itexmac.sourceforge.net/pdfsync.html" target="_top">pdfsync</a>
package in your LaTeX document.
