If I put my cursor on a line brak (^L) and hit *, I can find

Question: Instead of using the "*" technique indicated above,
what do I type after typing / (in normal mode) to search for
page breaks?
Have you tried typing control+L to generate the ^L character?

If it doesn't work for you too, you may have some interfering mapping
which you'd either have to disable or use control+V followed by
control+L to enter a literal ^L character in your search term.

If 'incsearch' is set, just hitting Ctrl-L will attempt to match
incrementally what is on the command-line in front of the cursor, see
:help c_CTRL-L
To insert an actual Ctrl-L, prefix it with Ctrl-V (or with Ctrl-Q if you
use Ctrl-V to paste). The Ctrl-V itself is not inserted.
