Thanks!
Using ctrl-s instead, this does exactly what I asked:
nnoremap <C-S> /<bslash><lt>_\=<c-r><c-w><bslash>><cr>
However, I may not have asked the right question.
I use various plugins to extend searching, such as:
vim-scripts/Add-to-Word-Search and inkarkat/vim-SearchHighlighting
Ideally I'd like these to automagically inherit the modified search.
I'm just being greedy.
Thanks again!
