I should have probably provided a fix long ago.
Where is the bug, that there's no match?! That's intended, as the last
\%V matches zero-width _after_ the end of "foobar", but the visual
selection ends on the "r". You'd have to use /\%Vfooba\%Vr here. (The
example at :help \%V is wrong about this corner case, too.)
The general case is this ugly beast: /\%Vfoobar\%(\%V\|\%(\%V.\)\@<=\).
Keep it simple ...:
/\%Vfoobar\%(\%V.\)\@<=
(Any actual use case for the /ugly beast/?)
Since restricting the match to inside the entire selection is such a
common use case (see the related vis.vim plugin), I think it would be
worthwhile to have a special atom (e.g. \%<V) that matches if the
_preceding character_ is inside the selection, allowing this much nicer
pattern: /\%Vfoobar\%<V
Looks like \%<V would be the same as \%(\%V.\)\@<=
