That won't work because user-defined commands must begin with an
upper-case letter. See
:help user-commands
To remap a command such as /, you must use a mapping, such as this
example:
:cnoremap <CR> <C-\>eescape(getcmdline(), '/')<CR><CR>:cunmap <lt>CR><CR>
See
:help map-overview
:help x_CTRL-\_e
:help getcmdline()
:helpgrep \cctrl-\\.\?e
and the mappings in the file
$VIMRUNTIME/macros/less.vim
That mapping is probably too simple, but it worked in the few test
cases I tried.
HTH,
