Just to add to the above point, to check if the pattern is in current line,
you either do:
let match_line = search('<patt>', 'cnW')
and..
if match_line == line('.')
"Do something
endif
or can even form a complex search pattern, like
let match_line = search('\%'.line('.').'l<patt>', 'c')
..where the cursor is placed at the match if "match_line" is non-zero.
"\%<line-num>l" is a special pattern to look for a match on a specific
line. There are other variants too, see
:help \%l
Another tip, almost always, you want to use ":normal!" (with a !) inside a
function, instead of ":normal". The former would not use mappings (:map)
for the characters following it.
