Simply assign your search string directly to the search-register, e.g.
if you have your search string in the Clipboard, use:
:let @/=@+
and press n to jump to the next occurence.
Of course you can also assign it manually:
:let @/='/path/with/many/slashes'
Or you can search backwards with "?":
?/path/to/wherever/with/slashes
If you want to change the direction of the search (rather than
using the somewhat awkwardly-inverted n/N commands), you can then
search forwards with no search criteria which will reuse the
previous pattern without the need to escape it.
