If I enter a regex search term, all occurrences of the matched items

Is there a way to create a new window and populate it with only the
found items?
OR is there a variable that contains all items matching the regex
search term?
Example:
A colleague is working on a some large files where we use substitution
variables than start with '&&'. Assume these are terminated by white
space, so are 'words' to vim.
He would like to extract just the tokens that start with '&&' and
populate a new window with those, so he can pull the tokens from two
separate files and see if all that occur in one occur in the other.
I was stumped at how to get this done.
Thanks!

There is no preexisting function or keybinding for that.
You can construct one, see
:help :function
:help search()
:help quote/
Best regards,
Tony.
