I don't know about completion in / ? buffers etiher so it I'd say it doesn't work. Again patching it and getting in the patch will take time. (I'd rather see someone spend the time making vim threadsafe by adding some locking .. :-) So what can you do instead? You've seen that you can feed arbitrary text to the / command. And the input() function supports completion. See :h complete() If that's not enough you can open a temp buffer and add a on buffer write hook to start the real query. Eg the tlib has some support for this. So this is a convinient workaround as well. Maybe you can give more details about which completion is missing so that the list can help you find the right answer?
