Type "/string".

There are a couple of problems (IMO) with the way it's implemented.

1.  A subsequent "/" doesn't search for the next occurrance of the
    search target.  It should, IMHO.

2.  A subsequent "/string" with the same string won't search for
    the next occurrance of the search target until you've manually
    stepped off the line currently satisfying the search.
