Search for the next and or previous occurrence of the word under your cursor with `*` and `#`.

Search and replace the first 'one' found with 'two':

> :%s/one/two/

Same, but replace 'one' globally:

> :%s/one/two/g

Put quotes around every occurrence of `$HOME`:

> :%s/$HOME/"&"

Same, but add curly brackets around `$HOSTNAME`:

> :%s/$HOSTNAME/{&}
