Sometimes people ask me for a command to search for the text that is
currently visually selected. You could add a mapping for the '/' key,
but then you lose the possibility to extend the visual area by
searching for a pattern.
Since we might need more commands in Visual mode later, and we only have
a few keys left to be used, we need to use two key combinations for
new commands in Visual mode.
I think we can start using the '&' key. Currently it doesn't do
anything. For now we could add the commands:
&/ search for the Visually selected text forward
&? same, backward
Is there a good alternative?

Any resemblance between the above views and those of my employer, my terminal,
or the view out my window are purely coincidental. Any resemblance between
the above and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the
existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an
exercise for the reader. The question of the existence of the reader is left
as an exercise for the second god coefficient. (A discussion of
non-orthogonal, non-integral polytheism is beyond the scope of this article.)
