function! LiteralSearch(string) range
   let l:pattern = escape(a:string, '\\/.*$^~[]')
   let @/ = l:pattern
   normal n
endfunction

:command -nargs=1 LS call LiteralSearch (<f-args>)

Then:

:LS .*$

Will match one time in this message, in the
function code above instead of matching every
line.

Map as desired.
