Possible bonus of expand: you can search again in the same file if
using the command history, even if you are in a different buffer. This
would be even better if expand("%:p") were used instead, since options
like autochdir or commands that change the directory would interfere.
Just using '%' by itself would always search the current buffer, which
would also be useful. Because this is a "search current buffer only"
command, I think that not having the expand() would make more sense.
Note that for this method of searching a buffer to work, the buffer
must be as it appears on the disk.
Personally, I use the cabbrev from the same tip mentioned above, so
that I have a chance to tweak the command before running the search.
