seldom I need to search specific part of text that are not simply the current

Example, assuming the caret is on the beginning of the sequence I want to seek,
I tend to do:
vwwe
and I am stuck. Is there a way to search for what I have selected?
Thanks,

I have substuted my own function in place of *.
The following is best viewed in a mono-spaced font.
It works the same as the regular *
but also works with a selection, even a multiline selection.

nnoremap * g*
" multi line search -- selection literal :help c_<C-R>
" substitute({expr}, {pat}, {sub}, {flags})
vnoremap * y/\c\V<C-R><C-R>=substitute(escape(@@,'/\'),'\n','\\n','g')<cr><cr>
" '''''' ||| | | | | | | | | | +{flags}
g=all

I don't get the idea with the substitute(); would someone please
enlighten me? I speak only pidgin vimscript! :-)
