Access recent searches when in command mode

I do a lot of pattern-matching searches using the / search command. Then when I've settled on the correct regular expression that grabs just the right group of characters I want, I go :s/ to start a substitution command. Now I'm in the middle of the substitution command and I have to re-enter my complex regular expression that's in my search history from before. Is there an easy way to yank it so Ii don't to re-type it?
