I have a string that has lots of forward slashes. I need to search it

it. I don't actually type the string, I just use cut-and-paste!
You can use this trick:
:let @/='patterrn/with/slashes'
n
Or this trick in your vimrc:
:command! -nargs=* S let @/=<q-args>|norm n
and then you use
:S pattern/with/slashes

1. Note that this will search in the same direction as the latest / or ?
search. You may want to end the command by "norm /" instead.
2. It may be simpler and more straightforward to use just (let's say)
:cmap £ <Bslash>/
then the £ (pound sterling) key (which you may replace by any other key not
used by Vim in command-line mode and conveniently located on your keyboard)
can be used as a substitute for \/ on the command-line.
