Re: How to incude '/' in search(find) string on the fly

Solutions were posted on this page
https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Searching_for_expressions_which_include_slashes
that, if I read correctly, define a new search-operator that allows the embedded '/' characters.
The operator being "S" or "s" or "Ss" or something. Maybe '#' could be re-mapped the same way.

But in my case, I still want to use "/" and "?" as before. I tried using analogous forms to re-map these characters
```
command! -nargs=1 / let @/ = escape(<q-args>, '/')|normal! /<C-R>/<CR>
command! -nargs=1 ? let @? = escape(<q-args>, '?')|normal! /<C-R>/<CR>
command! -nargs=1 / let @/ = <q-args>|set hlsearch
command! -nargs=1 '/' let @/ = <q-args>
```
but they all gave vim-errors.
