There is no easier way to achieve what you want. You need at least a
function, that checks in what mode you are in. The second function was
there just to make it more easier to enter new abbreviations.

BTW: You can do it manually:
function! Abbreviate(lhs, rhs)
if getcmdtype() =~ '[/?]'
return a:rhs
else
return a:lhs
endif
endfu

cnorea foo <C-\>eAbbreviate('foo', 'foobar')<cr>

You can read about it at :h c_CTRL-\_e

And I don't think this is ugly. It is just the only way to make your
request work.

Christian
