You already got answer by now, but in general, if you just need to
modify the pattern if it be *un*satisfactory, just type '/' and then
scroll through the earlier search patterns with the up/d

Yes, type
:%s/
Then hit the up arrow and cycle through previous patterns.
Also
:%s//dave
Notice no search pattern is specified, this says use the previous search
pattern.
So I do what you do all the time.
/mypattern
:%s//myreplacement/g

You don't needed "copy".
If you wrote
/something
to find what will be changed, just type
:s//change_something
or
:%s//change_something
or else
:%s//change_something/g
Vim will reuse your last search pattern
It's magic!
