dunno. your example does not show anything.
but if you simply want to search for
what you have previously copied then,
the procedure, in short, is this:
select, yank, /<c-r>"
so select whatever, type 'y' to copy it
to the default register, then start
searching with '/' and use 'CTRL-R' and '"'
to recall/insert the contents from the
default register into the search input.
and type ENTER to start searching. ;-)
