I agree, this could be easier.
Doing it with search() seems a bit tricky.
-it needs 2 calls to search()
-the startposition needs special care
( there could be a match in the first column of
the first line one wants to search )
----------%<------------------
"Could be improved by handling the startpos differently
"and avoid the 3rd search.
func! CollectWords( pat, first_line, last_line )
let result = []
call cursor(a:first_line,1)
while search(a:pat,'cW',a:last_line)
normal! ms
call search(a:pat,'ceW')
normal! me
normal! `sv`ey
call add(result,@")
call search('.','W')
endwhile
return result
endfun

Maybe someone has a better idea, apart from source modification.
