In a diff, search for added lines containing 'bacon', and highlight only 'bacon'
/^+[^+].*\zsbacon
; Explanation:
; / <- start search
; ^+ <- has a + at the beginning of the line
; [^+] <- does not have another + after that (avoid +++-lines)
; .* <- match anything up until...
; \zs <- start highlighted area (match)
; bacon <- what we're actually looking for
