Because you need to end the search command with an enter. So try this:
:normal /pattern^M where you get ^M by pressing <Ctrl-V> + Enter.
Or use exe:
:exe "normal /pattern\<CR>"
Or may be even feedkeys:
:call feedkeys("/pattern\n")

Because you do not need to press Enter after pressing the j command.
