copy highlighted text after : prompt

Hi folks,

I use * regularly to search for words and the results are nicely
highlighted. Many times I need to copy these terms after the : prompt
(what is its name? command prompt? status bar?) for example when I
need to grep for it in other files or search-and-replace it, etc.

Is this possible?

Cheers,
Daniel
