Actually, there is no reason to enter visual mode. Full-blown regex
searches with / or ? are treated just like any other cursor motion by
the "d" operator.
t or f are probably sufficient in this case, but they limit to matches
within the same line as well as limiting to a single character. A /
search has none of these limitations, but beware of wrapping beyond
the end of the file! If you run into this problem, see :help
'wrapscan'.
