It is modelled after how "less" and "vi" remembers the last pattern fed to their "/" command. You once give, say, "/test_<ENTER>" to find one instance of "test_", then "/<ENTER>" takes to the next instance. As I expect our target audiences are used to such a behaviour, I do not think I agree with your "way too complicated".
