In a script, how can I get repeated searches always to begin

At least in my 7.2, there's no Ex ":cursor" command, so it's
pretty obvious why you get the E492. My guess on the latter is
that you're issuing ":1G" which is trying to execute "1G" as an
Ex command rather than a normal-mode command, and as such, there
is more than one ex-command that begins with "G", and thus you
get the E464. It sounds like you want to change that to
...:b#<cr>:0sil! /<c-r>0i
and just prefix the search/silent command with the line number
from which you want to start (either "0" in my example, or
possibly "1"; difference being what happens when a match occurs
on the first line of the file and subsequent lines of the file).
