Though it is certainly also possible to build the pattern yourself!
Without knowing exactly what you want to search for, I can't build it
for you, but helpful things for this might include:
:help /\bar
:help /\branch
:help /[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:help /\@<!
:help /\(
:help /\%(
:help /\zs
:help /\ze
You almost certainly won't need all of these, but with them you'll
certainly be able to do what you want here.
