Ideally you should search with evil's /, which already uses the current input method, rather than try to hack something together yourself (you can always rebind it to C-s if you feel like that's what you want). If you still want to build this yourself, look into the macro evil-without-input-method-hooks, which is used in evil-search.el to implement this behavior for evil's search. Long story short, evil has hooks that prevent you from using an input method in normal state, and evil-without-input-method-hooks is probably the best way to get around them.
