There is no need for an extra function to restrict your search to
visual mode, you can just use \%V in your pattern.
This is how I normally restrict a search range.
For example, to restrict a search to the current {...} block:
vaB<Esc>/\%Vpattern<Enter>
I use this often enough I've defined a mapping as well:
vnoremap <M-/> <Esc>/\%V
nnoremap <M-/> /\%V
I diddn't want to remap / by itself, because being able to search to
extend the range of a visual selection is way too useful to lose.
