depending on how you define those sets of lines you can also use
'searchpair()' if the cursor is currently inside the block you want
to search through. Wrapped in a command this would look something like
:command -nargs=1 SearchInSet call searchpair('^BEGIN$', <q-args>, '^END$')
if those set of lines are delimited by BEGIN and END. You can than use
this command with
:SearchInSet search-string
