/pattern
searches for a occurrence of a pattern, but i need a way to search for

You can use
/^\%(\%(pattern\)\@!.\)*$
or if you're performing an Ex action on them, you can use
:v/pattern/action
instead of
:g/pattern/action
Lastly, you might want to check out Dr. Chip's LogiPat.vim
script/plugin that makes this a lot less messy to type.
