First problem with these mappings:

:nmap allows recursive mappings. Use :nnoremap instead, so that you
can legally use '*' in the right-hand-side.

Second problem:

The syntax for CTRL-O is <C-O>. So, your mapping would become:

nnoremap * *<C-O>

This will only copy the word into the search. You will now need to use
a different method to actually jump to the next hit, like using the
'n' command in normal mode.
