That does not make sense, `search` already moves cursor. No need to
make `exec` move cursor afterwards (similar problem to the above
point).

If you want to avoid spaces, do use concat.
:execute arg1 arg2
is the same thing as
:execute arg1." ".arg2
for convenience. You just need to have explicit concat:
:execute arg1.arg2
does not add any spaces.

I am unable to move to the search result even with this code. You are
using :execute on a function which returns 0, it *must* bring you to
the first line once function exits, so all your attempts to move to
the search pattern are useless. To move and highlight you need to use
something like
execute 'edit' fnameescape(file)
let @/ = searchpat
normal! gg0n
. E.g. this works as I expect:
vim -u gtf.vim -i NONE -N
" gtf.vim:
function GoToFile() abort
let line = getline(".")
let [file, searchpat] = matchlist(line, '\v\C^(.{-})\ \:\ (.*)$')[1:2]
execute 'edit' fnameescape(file)
let @/ = searchpat
normal! gg0n
endfunction
nnoremap <C-o> :<C-u>call GoToFile()<CR>
call writefile(['/tmp/gtf-test : abc def'], '/tmp/gtf-test-init')
call writefile(['foo', 'abc def'], '/tmp/gtf-test')
set hlsearch
edit /tmp/gtf-test-init
call feedkeys("gg\<C-o>", "t")
. Note:
0. `nnoremap`: you must not use `*map` without `nore` unless you know
what you are doing. This avoids possible issues with other mappings.
1. `:<C-u>`: check how function behaves when you press `10<C-o>` without this.
2. `call GoToFile()`, not `execute`.
3. Original `file` and `searchpat` definition will not work correctly
with `SomeFileName : Some Multiple Words of Search Pattern`. I assumed
that code is wrong, not example line.
